Well, it seems the waiting is over finally for the Unemployed. West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin has appointed Carte Goodwin as the late Senator Byrd's replacement. Goodwin was formerly chief counsel to Governor Manchin and is an attorney in Charleston, West Virginia. Hopefully, Goodwin will provide the necessary vote to extend Unemployment benefits to millions of Unemployed Americans.
The Senate is expected to vote on the measure next Tuesday afternoon, after Goodwin is sworn in. I hope all of you Unemployed still remember this Senate's lousy display of concern for Middle-Class Amercia during the past few months, even after these benefits are extended. Your elected officials, Democrat or Republican, could care less about the suffering of hard-working families, no matter what they may say on T.V. for their precious campaigns.
With the recent passing of Financial Reform, banks will be even tighter, and it will be even more difficult for most Americans to fulfill the American Dream, as they probably won't qualify for a home loan. Many Unemployed have ruined their credit, while attempting to support their families, and there is NOTHING Congress will do about it. You are on your own. I'd like to ask President Obama how the hell these people are supposed to carry on after their lives have been ruined by Wall Street? Are they proposing to wipe the credit slate clean for the 30+ million Americans who are without a job, just as they did for AIG or Guldmann Sachs? I doubt it. And so should you. Remember exactly how you feel about the situation you are in right now; And carry that feeling with you to the polls this November.
