Here we go Again!!

AIG is wanting government approval to give it's executives BONUSES!!! What nerve these people have! Why are they still in business? Bailout or no bailout, they shouldn't have any customers! Who are the fools still doing business with this company? I'm begging you, drop this company! BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

GM in trouble, I wonder why?!

Here's a little food for thought, does anyone besides me think this is ridiculous? It's no wonder they're losing money! Apparently corporate greed isn't just for the executives!!!
This is from Yahoo:
According to the Indianapolis Star: Base wages average about $28 an hour. GM officials say the average reaches $39.68 an hour, including base pay, cost-of-living adjustments, night-shift premiums, overtime, holiday and vacation pay. Health-care, pension and other benefits average another $33.58 an hour, GM says. - September 26, 2007 UNITED AUTO WORKERS OFF THE JOB, Striking back at globalization. By Ted Evanoff

OMG!! AIG???

Why is the current administration giving MORE money to AIG? What $150 billion wasn't enough? Do they need another vacation already? I guess it is stressful knowing that 50% of the loans they made are back in default again. Who would have guessed? Anybody with half a brain, that's who! Most of those people couldn't afford the houses they bought in the first place, what makes AIG and the government think they can afford them now?
I'm not an economist, far from it, but I want to know why all this Stimulus Money is going to government and Big Businesses. Why not give the money to the people and let them pay their debts? The money will still end up with the Banks, but the people will have reduced their debts and feel free to spend again. Does that just make too much sense for the 'experts' in Washington to understand?

Well, today was a significant day. Significant because Obama took the oath of office? No, that just gives me a sad and hopeless feeling. Significant because I just received my last payment from The Texas Workforce Commission and still don't have a job. I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel with this new administration. I hope they prove me and Millions like me wrong!
I have 30+ years experience in the restaurant industry and was Wrongfully Terminated by my last employer, McDonald's. I'd like to do something about the violation of my rights, but nobody seems to want to go up against a giant like McDonald's. It's sad but pretty typical of the way things go nowadays. It's not good enough to be in the right anymore. To get ahead today, you have to be without a conscience and unfortunately I had one implanted in me by my parents.
It's not that I haven't tried to find work, I've made over 500 job contacts! Employers today are in complete control, they can pretty much do what they please and suffer no consequences. I was Terminated through no fault of my own, but try to get a prospective employer to get past that! All they see is that I was fired!
