Get a job..Genius...Guess they missed the part that when you get extended benefits..You have to fill out at least 2 applications per week..Well at least thats the way it worked for me..Plus I guess he missed all the articles about the long term U.E being discriminated against by employers.He hasn't seen that for ever 1 job opening 5 people are applying(Its probably more than 5 people by now)..Guess he don't know how fun it is telling people u r unemployed and barely paying your bills and feeding your family..Also he has never known the fun of applying for food stamps or going to a food bank....IDIOT

I have to tell you that this lawmaker must be a real genius. Good grief. Somebody should slap him on the back of the head and tell him to join the rest of humanity.
What is it with Republicans that they have so little respect for working class America who have now become the new unemployed and poor? It's the Republicans fault that we're here in the first place with their failed policies and huge tax cuts for the rich.

An open letter sent to State Senator Lembke's office:
Dear Senator Lembke,
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish its latest numbers over the next few days, but there are two numbers that you and your staff need to be made aware of.
- The first is 3.2 million - that's the total number of job openings across the United States.
- The second is 13.9 million - that's the total number of out of work Americans.
Senator, given the state of the national job market, surely you can see that your suggestion to "get two or three jobs to make ends meet" is an impractical recommendation at best.
Unemployment benefits are a financial lifeline for million of out of work Americans. Nationally, almost 1.8 million men and women have lost access to that lifeline, and it has been estimated that an additional 4 million people will lose access this year.
Would you, Senator, tell firefighters to set their hoses down when they're putting out a house on fire? Would you tell them that "99 gallons of water are enough" if the fire hasn't been extinguished yet?
I don't think you would, Senator. I think you would tell them to fight that fire until it's out. I would ask you to do the same in this instance. Let the Missouri Senate keep fighting until the work is done.
Thank you.

I don't care what he thinks or says. This is just a re-hash of the same, tired attitude of people who don't have a clue.

It takes no brains to tell people unemployed to get jobs. It takes brains to realize that the economy is at a state of emergency. I agree, if a house is even smoldering, you still pour water on it all until it is safe not to. We really have many forest fires going on across the nation. This idiot can't see a tree that needs help among a forest.
