    Man Receiving Unemployment Benefits Refuses Over A Dozen Job Offers

    First job they should do is repeal NAFTA and impose a tariff to equalize labor costs among our trading partners. What we have now is NOT free markets. By LAW an American worker will not be working for less than 7.25 an hour while the minimum wage in Mexico is 4.48 usd PER DAY. OUR...

    Man Receiving Unemployment Benefits Refuses Over A Dozen Job Offers

    In Florida, the MAXIMUM is like 250 a week even if you used to make 500k a year. In some states a guy who made 50k a year is getting 600 bucks a week. It doesn't have much to do with what you "paid in" but more the generosity of your states unemployment system. Sure, there is the question of...

    Man Receiving Unemployment Benefits Refuses Over A Dozen Job Offers

    Really. After the Federal government starts paying, it ought to be a universal amount. Some states have programs that pay four or five hundred dollars a week! Other states like Florida only pay out 250 bucks a week or so. Why the disparity between states? If the "generous" states want their...

    Anyone know of a good emini S&P 500 System?

    Why bother with e-mini's- just trade the underlying index (the dollar index- DX) The e-minis are moving with the dollar index so you'll have to watch the dollar anyways- why bother with the e-mini at all?

    It has been posted on numerous websites with speculation it was going to happen. I don't recall seeing it on a mainstream site, if it was it was buried amongst the "everything is great" stories.

    Get Used to being poor:Judge tells divorce wife

    I always use that line to explain why I am not married nor do I EVER intend to get married. The married guys are always quick to point out they get "it" less after marriage than before- I ask them why any fool would marry. I can only see two advantages to being married from a mans...

    Video: Economic Downturn Hammering Upper E. Side of Manhattan

    I watched that last night on PBS (LOL- I don't have anything but an antenna for television) The two things that really stood out were the age of the people in that networking group of unemployed. Not one of them appeared to be under 45. Most will probably never return to the work they have...

    Tax refugees staging escape from New York

    No, they are NOT tax rebates, they are subsidies. An across the board tax rebate would have been the fairer thing to do- subsidizing specific industries was plain wrong. Why did you single out Barney Frank with your rant- you should be angry with ALL of them- not just Barney.....(and the...

    Video: Great Depression Tent Cities in the US

    You are an IDIOT hoodooman. There is no polite way to say it, you are clearly not a thinking man. Do you think your son brings up this great idea for any other reason than to remind you of how stupid you are? I love your idea Hitler- 10% RIF (reduction in force) = OFF TO THE CAMPS...

    Get Used to being poor:Judge tells divorce wife

    I've often thought about getting married, it would be nice to be able to have sex any time you feel like it. Some times it sucks being single & having to go without from time to time. Maybe the threat of financial ruin from divorce is worth the "sex on demand"?

    High unemployment + weak dollar is good for equity.

    You CAN quit smoking- Please consider it.

    Nobody truly likes smoking, given the opportunity to rethink those first few smokes that got them addicted I doubt many would do it all over again. I challenge any smoker to come up with one benefit to being a smoker. I am not trying to do ANYTHING but convince people who do smoke &...
