I'm glad I don't associate with lazy f'ers and system-workers. Some here need to upgrade their list of associates.

When we had an open Cutomer Serice Rep. position open last month, we had 80 applications submitted, with several coming from as far away as Kansas. People are trying hard to find employment that doesn't exist.

If the banks were too big to fail, then surely the country is too big to fail. If ever there was a reason to accumulate more debt, this is it. We built up 10 trillion in debt on assorted bullsh!t and now isn't the time to get all tight with the purse strings, IMO.

I lost a job I'd had for 20 years, and found myself on unenjoyment for 6 weeks. I've never felt so without direction and purpose in my life. Sure, I went fishing a few times when I felt like it, but it was hard for me to enjoy fishing when I knew that I should be out pounding the pavement. So that's what I did, and was able to find a new position a few rungs higher up the ladder than I was before.

But I realize that just because it worked for me doesn't mean everyone has been able to replace a lost job. And lots of them are honest, hard-working individuals. If the guv can't help them, why could they help banks and GM?

That quote from Lincoln is awesome.
