What do you think would happen if 2 million Americans lost there only source of income all at the same time?

It would be a very sad time ...

I am sorry, I spent four months on the couch unable to find work. I didn't get Unemployment Benefits because I was considered a contractor in my state. I had to live on savings. This is why we need individual accounts. The system is abused by certain professions in construction and manufacturing who have seasonal lay offs yearly. In the State of MI some people have gotten More than 72 weeks, 1.5 Years. It's time to end this extension crap. Many of these people have taken FAR more than they paid into the system turning it from an insurance program to a welfare program. It's time to see how bad this recession really is and hit a market dictated bottom.

Another thing the people of America need to feel this pain now instead of putting it off to the grand kids via debt. They need to learn you can't have housing bubbles and homes are not ATM machines. We as a people need to take responsibility for our actions that caused this. This is not a normal Business cycle recession. This is far worse and caused by stupid people wanting something for nothing and debt at a personal level and Government level. Lets deal with it now instead of leaving it to grand kids, even if we have to end unemployment benefits. These federal funds are all borrowed. It's time for the states to pick up the cost via welfare of the jobless Americans within the state lines. Provide the bare necessities not 80% of the income they once had at a job that is not coming back anytime soon.

No, they would not remain calm. Yes, they would find jobs in this economy, just not ones they like. No they would not start riots. No, the crime rate would not skyrocket. I would simply find a job.

Unemployment is not meant to be a source of income. It is meant to be a short term, stopgap measure for people in between jobs.

Pretty much what is happening now, a few protests, lots of anger and just complaining in front of the TV on the sofa. Tea parties have had large numbers and are growing, however, Washington hasnt even batted an eye. I sincerely hope changes come real soon. It will take a lot more then 2 million out of work people getting pissed off.

Do you know how many small business-owners and self-employed Americans are already doing without an income? Personally, let the s hit the fan. I'm one of the self-employed small business-owners and nobody did a damn thing for me. I've been chewing rocks since the first bailout. I'd happily throw some.

Umm 800 trillion greenback tax cuts? Are you stupid? the completed US and Asian GDP isn't even properly worth 500 trillion. The tax cuts weren't basically for the wealthy. the backside earnings bracket have been given a 33.3333% alleviation interior the earnings taxes they pay. Their earnings tax value went from 15% to 10%. it particularly is a 5% decrease yet a 33.3333% alleviation in taxes paid. the wealthy? have been given a 4.7% decrease their value went from 39.7% to 35% it particularly is a 12% alleviation in taxes paid. i assume you do no longer are conscious of it particularly is style of impossible to furnish a individual who basically will pay 1500-2500 in taxes a twelve months a $50 thousand greenback tax decrease. additionally if it wasn't for those tax cuts i does not have opened certainly one of my new shops. ninety 9 weeks of unemployment is extra then sufficient time to detect yet another job it particularly is 2 YEARS to detect yet another job in case you could't discover some style of earnings in 2 years it incredibly is your person fault. the place there's a will there's a manner. you may desire to pass on line to lots of the internet video games a million/2 the gamers are on unemployment.

sometimes peole do what they have to do. move,work for another company or in a position they think is beneath them. times are tough. but enlarging the government t!t,is not going to resolve anything. or help someone find a job.

yes,jobs do exist,classified sections still exist, employment agencies still exist too.

The economy will collapse, and we'll have terrorists coming out of the woodwork and anthrax in the water supply and i say enjoy it!

Suicide and crime rates would both skyrocket. It would be dog eat dog anarchy.

I hope we dont get there, but Washington isn't helping.

I would get as meany odd jobs as I can.
