If you want to keep your readers, don’t harp on a single subject. Lighten up occasionally. Vary your posts.
But 14,087,000 Americans are out of work. As a headline in the New York Times put it yesterday, “Somehow, the Unemployed Became Invisible.” The article noted that the unemployed tend to feel low self-esteem, tend not to vote, tend not to contact their members of Congress.
Incidentally, in the interim between the last unemployment statistics and the latest report, the feds slashed 14,000 jobs and state and local governments cut another 25,000 jobs, mostly in education. That may help balance the budget (which I doubt), but it sure as heck doesn’t help the unemployed.
How do the Republicans address the problem? Repeat after me, over and over: No New Taxes, No New Taxes.
