How Long Will Unemployment Outweigh Deficit Concerns?

I was laid off October of 2008. I have over 300 resumes and applications out there. I am on my last extension of unemployment. The end of December is the end of the line for me. I will be out on the street not long afterward. I don't expect the economy it get better-I think it is only going to get worse. The Feds do not have a reliable way to count just how many people are really unemployed.
The numbers of homeless are increasing. Evictions are increasing. The only people making money out there are the Tent manufacturers! When I vote, I will remember how my congressman and my Senators ignored the economy in favor of health care legislation. Vote them all out and start over--Democrats and Republicans--they are all useless!

Election time will be coming round soon for some of the Senate. And the way the people are being treated it will be real hard for people to vote. We are really have a hard time trying to make end meet. They have a job and we are suffering because they can"t make up their mind. But the people will when election time come.
