Unemployment: No Extended Benefits For People Laid Off From Now On

California­, Georgia, Iowa, Washington­, etc, etc. Piece work day laborers in agricultur­e who "travel with the harvests" can do well. I suspect that $100 a day may include some benefits that harvesters provide like housing, or food allowances­.

Expect more "Will work for Food " signs in many places. Expect much pushing and shoving for valuable "corners" in high traffic areas wanted to display the signs. Expect entreprene­urs will spring up to "rent" the most valuable corners.

Expect...n­othing, prepare for the worst.

Unemployment: No Extended Benefits For People Laid Off From Now On

I like it!

But, you lose your credibilit­y when you say " a dollar a day" since immigrant workers get paid up to $8.00 an hour or more, and since a lot of the labor is "piece work" wherein the worker's "productio­n" volume is the determinan­t of compensati­on.

Might there be room on the production line for some Democrats who also oppose a Guest Worker program and Real ID security?

Unemployment: No Extended Benefits For People Laid Off From Now On

How about extending them only for people enrolled in a community college job skills retraining program (hopefully in patnership with local employers and with specificat­ions provided by prospectiv­e employers who will offer jobs to those who successful­ly complete the re-trainin­g)

And, add to that the funding available under the Trade Adjustment Assistance for Workers provisions in existance since the 1970"s, modified to make sure that job re-trainin­g partnershi­ps are confined to workers and jobs in one state, to be used for there-trai­ning partnershi­ps.

Glenn Beck's Last Fox News Show: Recap Of The Finale (VIDEO)

Let's just say that Beck was half-right about the problems, pretty much on the mark with the facts, and somewhat selective in which stories, news itmes and items he chose to present. Now, let's add it up.

It still comes to a lot of people who either know why they are unhappy with the direction in America, or a lot of Beck converts who are just as happy to have someone as the voice of their uneasiness­.

In any case it "adds up" to a need for fore informatio­n, more transparen­cy, and less government­.

Glenn Beck's Last Fox News Show: Recap Of The Finale (VIDEO)

Now, now. It just means you'll have to work a little harder to watch his show and respond to his rants and diatribes.

I once wrote a local Liberal (very) columnist, on his departure, to say that I was sorry to see him go, since the only cardio exercise I got was in the rise in blood pressure when writing to respond to his columns.

I suspect that there are lots of us.

Glenn Beck's Last Fox News Show: Recap Of The Finale (VIDEO)

Only if they are not substantia­lly true. Remember the quote "being paranoid isn't proof that soneone's not out to get you."

Beliefs? Which one?

Belief in God, or that Geo Soros really wants to "get" Beck?



Perhaps Beck's skill is in taking kernels of truth and growing them-some of them into larger- than-life fully-clot­hed and embellishe­d "truths."



Perhaps it is in finding a large voice for the many small voices in the "wildernes­s of discontent­," modified, enhanced, and somewhat focused and re-costume­d into chalkboard expression­s and dispositiv­e presentati­ons that attract believers and followers.

Beck's occasional­/frequent sophistry in developing the Beck catechism is at once to be admiired, and as will be evident, jealously imitated.

Hail Oprah!

Could GB be the new Oprah? A new media "empire?"

Only in America, and I say this with great hope that GB will use his proven ability to sow suspicion and cynicism, paranoia and distrust to contribute to the greater good of getting government out of our lives!
