Too many 'Merkins sit on their ass and say "Hell no I ain't workin' for no chump change."
I was of the opinion that the conservative position was no extensions, period?
Now they will go on welfare, faux disability, or find/create a job.

With 14 to 18 percent unemployment and no money to move a family to an area of the country with better job prospects here is what that "chump" as you call him is faced with.
Save up enough for gas money, leave the family behind. Sleep in the car and hope to find work.
Comments like this make me really mad. It is not hard to see what reality is out there. You sound like you believe Obama's line about unemployment numbers.
It has been and continues to be misery for a lot of people that once had good paying jobs. While the government wastes billions we can't even keep taking care of our own till something turns. And people blast at the unemployed.
This country is sick!!
Well, in all fairness, looking for work can be a pretty intense activity if you do it seriously and methodically. And, in case you’re wondering, I’ve been continuously employed since I was 21.
Sounds great in theory. Problem is, in a large portion of the Country, there just aren't enough (or any) jobs available. What's amazing to me is how this administration and it's media have been successful in changing the public perception. Even though the job situation is still at depression like levels, the huge number of unemployed seems to have been forgotten, almost as if the bad economy is something in the past.
If they (the administration) can sell this (false) perception, seems to me they can sell just about anything.
