Well, isn't this just peachy! Wonder where they'll get the union dues? I can't *wait* until they push Granholm to bill the taxpayer rather than scrape them off the top of unemployment checks!

[Red Badger]

Maybe they should go on strike...............

BBAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!

[Anti-Bubba182]

99ers, the new welfare class, just peachy!

[cripplecreek]

A work startage?

**Sigh**

[CholeraJoe]

No wonder they can’t find a job! Very few jobs for lazy bums who want to watch cartoons and soaps all day and still collect a paycheck.

Instead of begging for more government handouts, they need to be screaming at the government for essentially treating the economy as it treated those cars taken in by Cash for Clunkers. The Obama Administration has dumped a toxic stew of regulatory chemicals into the engine block and now is forcing the economy to run this poison through its system until it totally freezes up.

People need to understand that Onama and the democrats really don’t want unemployment to come down. The more people who rely on government the better.

I suppose shame and humiliation are not ensconced in any of the dead-beat American DNA...I hear never ending ads by Andy Willoughby how his plan can make ANYONE 2-5 grand a month with little effort. Maybe the "effort" part would be the problem...(zero) effort is more like it with these people.

Maybe their ship will come in during the elections...I am sure that there will be "walking around money" to be had for socialist votes this NOV....if only they can hang on...

union dues? I dont need no steenking union dues. I’ll just pay with my hope and change dollars and it will be alright.

This coming lame duck congress really worries me, both state and federal. Castle, Murkowski and other RINOS may just vote with the Dems (not that they didn’t already) out of sheer contempt.

I wonder which working group the unions will go after next. Gotta have those dues rolling in.

[Anti-Bubba182]

I agree. They want EVERYONE dependent. Then they have total power.

[Tolsti2]

The economy’s in shambles and there’s likely to be civil unrest if it doesn’t turn around QUICK. UI is going to have to be extended at this rate.

[cripplecreek]

All I know is that if I’m ever forced into a union, I will vote on all union issues and I’ll make sure they regret including me.

[jtal]

is thus satire or for real?

[blam]

Wait till they start blocking the working/employed people from getting to their jobs.

This will be the beginning of the riots that will lead to revolution.
Only, these people will be the first to die.

[cripplecreek]

Crack Hos local 225.

“99ers” — those long-term unemployed who have exhausted all available 99 weeks of unemployment benefits — have formed the American 99ers Union to lobby Congress to create a Tier V of federal unemployment benefits, she reports.

What are they going to do if they don’t get their way? Strike? What would they do then? Get a job?
