The days and weeks are going fast...is it just me or is everyone experiencing the same?? It is the middle of May but it seems we are going back to winter! It was cold yesterday and this morning, it is only 47! That is too extreme...it is not winter! Do you see the white stuff? Only on some people's heads!!! Ha! Ha! Ha! You are nincompoop! Tell us your news....enough of your nonsense! Excuse me, what do you call my blog? Nonsenzetalk. I rest my case! Ha! Ha! You cannot, win, can you???
This week, the " National Debt Ceiling" hit it's congressionally limit of over $14 trillion! That is a lot!! What will be the consequence of this for the younger generations?? Yikes!! Let us hope and pray that our government solve this catastrophe! Watch the video of doodoorazzi.com
Unemployment is still high! According to Wall Street Journal, 5.5 million Americans are currently unemployed and not receiving benefits! Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year which was the lowest level recorded in US history! That is a shame, is it not?? Today, there are 44 million Americans on food stamps which is 1 out of every 4 American children. This is a big jump from 2007 which has only 26 million Americans on food stamps! Speaking of food stamps, did you know that JP Morgan is the largest processor of food stamp benefits in the United States? That means, the more Americans that go on food stamps, the more money JP Morgan makes! Did you all know that in 1965, 1 out of every 50 Americans are on Medicaid? Today, that number is 1 out of 6!!
The % of millionaires in Congress is more than 50 times higher than the % of millionaires in general population! According to a new report from AFL -CIO, the average CEO made 343 times more money than the average Americans did last year! How about the members of Congress giving some of their money to help with the US debt instead of dipping into the pensions of the old people, the social security and Medicare??

Housing Blues
The housing industry is still having many problems! One of the problem is that new home sales for February, 2011 in the United States hit an all time low , only 19,000 sold! For one thing, how could people buy a house if they are unemployed?? It is extremely difficult to find a job in today's economy! There are so many people that have been out of a job for a year now, and they simply stopped looking! Besides, I read that companies do not even want to hire people that has been unemployed for a long time! That is big time discrimination on these people through no fault of their own that they are unemployed! In that case what is the future for the unemployed people?? That is not fair...and it is sooo sad!! Something has to be done! How about the politicians that are trying to please corporate America by robbing money from the weak, like the elderly and kids by getting their private pensions or education money just to give to businesses to further fatten their wallets??? That is not right, do you all agree???
Let us talk about people that are employed. Even if they are employed, who could afford a 20% or more down payment for a new house especially if you are only earning $8.00 or $9.00 an hour?? Would you not rather spend it on food, which , by the way has been on a steady increase for quite sometime now? What can we do to alleviate the situation? Grow your own vegetable garden this spring and freeze some! I like what some cities are doing...a co-op garden for people to get their vegetables.
Home foreclosures are still on the rise. Did you know that 11% of US homes are standing empty?? Why can't the bank dispose of these homes? Because the mortgage lenders have tightened their lending standards!! Per Mortgage Bankers Association, at least 8 million Americans are at least 1 month behind on their mortgage, and a high number of Americans are "underwater" on their mortgages. There is a projection of 48 % negative equity of American homes by the end of 2011!! Did you all get the valuation of your house from the city??? There is a big decline in the home value but I am so amazed of how much the property tax remains! It was only a few dollars less!! Sigh!!! We really cannot win, can we???
Did you also know that 63 % of Americans feel it is better to rent than to own a home?? Tell me if I am wrong, but I read somewhere that is the future for the people...that the government would rather people rent than own a home! What is the reason for this? I do not know!! Does anyone know if there is a truth to what I read???
Lastly, the cost of oil continues to rise. If the conflict in the Middle East does not stop, we might see the cost of oil rising to $200!! In that case, who can still afford anything??? We need to all pray.....pray.....pray.....
May there be world peace!!! May God bless all of us!!!!!

Unemployment
What is unemployment?? Unemployment is when a person is able and willing to work but is currently without work!!!! There are so many unemployed people right now, that it is not even funny!!!! The prediction is very bleak also, that unemployment will continue to rise with the remaining manufacturing jobs going overseas!!! That is not good!!!!
What is happening to our dear country???? After trillions of dollars spent and thousands of new laws enacted, the situation seems to be getting worse!!! Foreclosures are mounting, job losses are staggering and debts are mounting!!!! What the government need is an array of excellent economists or someone that can turn the economy around!!!! How??? I am not sure, but we surely need a miracle right now if our good country will survive!!!!
What is the unemployment rate right now???? There are sooo many rates and terms for unemployment that I am not sure really which to believe. There is the so called U3 from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which claims that the unemployment rate dropped from 9.7% in May to 9.5% in June!!! What does U3 means??? The definition of U3 includes anyone age 16 or older who is not institutionalized and is not currently employed, but able to work, available for work and actively seeking work!!! This excludes discouraged workers, who stopped looking for work and part time workers who would prefer to work full time!!! The latter belongs to the U6 which is another classification rate by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. What is July's U6 unemployment rate? Down from 16.6% in May to 16.5% in June!!!! Then there is another source that says the real unemployment rate is 21.5% that does not have government manipulation. Irregardless of these statistics, something is very real and very clear: UNEMPLOYMENT IS VERY HIGH!!
Unemployed people can get unemployment benefits, if you are eligible, but it only amount to an average weekly payments of 36 % of the individual's weekly wage!!! If a person has a mortgage and a family, that is not really enough for existence!!!
Everyone is hurting right now. It is not only the unemployed and their families, but also the businesses!!! Can you see that the businesses is not as what it was before??? That is why you will see a lot of businesses slashing their prices, and competition is very steep!!! Everyone in America is affected!!!! What do you mean, everyone???? The politicians seem not to be affected, because they are not doing a damn thing about it!!!! The rich do not care, they just care for themselves getting richer!!!! Who cares about the middle income group? Yup, people, they do not give a damn about each and everyone of us!!!! So what do we do????
What do I think we need??? Prayers!!!!! That is right!!! The prayers that people took away from schools and other institutions!!!! If everyone prays for America, perhaps God will have pity and will intercede so the outcome will turn around for the better for our beloved country!!!! Then maybe, perhaps, our heads of the country will open their eyes and do something to help the American people!!!! Hmmmm.......Wishful thinking!!!!!
Some say we are recovering from a recession, and others who have seen the depression days believe that we are in a sorry state of depression right now!!!! Golly gee!!! No wonder I can see that it is really hard to make ends meet!!! Have you all experienced the same thing????
I also see that the businesses are not raising their prices!!! What are they doing instead???? They are making the products smaller!!!!! That way, consumers believe that it is the same price!!!! But we are no fools!!!! We know, right???? Can you blame them??? Not really, I guess thay have to survive also!!!!
May God bless all the unemployed!!!! May they get good jobs that will be rewarding and fruitful!!!! May they be steadfast in their faith and not lose hope!!!! After all, if one door closes, another door will open!!!!!
So, America, how about a prayer or two for our beloved country and all its people?? Prayers work, and miracles do happen!!!!!
