Have and Have Nots

Marshall's flax-mill, Holbeck, Leeds, interior...Image via Wikipedia Since the recession, the gap between the haves and have nots has widen. President Obama has talked much about the gap between the poor and middle class growing. Jobs loss, low paying, wages and unemployment is the real cause between the have's and have not's. Many Americans are using food stamps and government assistance to make ends meet. Companies are laying off workers to cut their bottom line, and this makes it even harder for people to find work when no one is really hiring for some skilled labor.

Does The Dept. of Labor find Jobs

I like many Americans have been unemployed at some point and time. We have all went to the department of labor to look for work, and to no avail, we really didn't come out with any real leads that we can say got us the job. The constant sending of resumes, making calls, and going to job fairs at some point landed you and I a job. So, the question is whats the purpose of the Department of Labor? I got many friends who go into the Department of Labor looking for work, but still come up with nothing.

Are Food Stamps Enough

Nutrition Assistance for Puerto Rico is a fede...Image via Wikipedia Are Food Stamps enough for the families who have been out of work? The economy has been having a tough time recovering, and many Americans are still out of work. Food Stamps are meant to supplement a persons income to help with the food bill. When you are supporting a family of two, or more people and you still have a light power gas mortgage bills coming in does food stamps really help cover the cost? Inflations seems to play a role with the grocery bill. Food Stamps should provide some families with a little relief, but with all the other bills on the table it may not cure the situation to much.

Wealth Gap

the 44th President of the United States...Bara...Image by jmtimages via Flickr
This past year has been a hell of a year for the American Economy. Gas prices went through the roof, food prices skyrocketed, and the housing market really went all the bad. As the economy went spiraling down hill so did the wealth gap between the poor and middle class. Many Americans lost there jobs which has lead to high rate of unemployment along with people seeking more Government Aide then in past years. Food Stamp benefits skyrocketed as more people applied for benefits to help feed the family. The wealth gap has widen between the poor and middle class and its only going to get worse.


Regardless of how the economy is doing it seems the super-rich come out ahead and to prove it, Wall St. has set yet another new pay record. The rest of the nation, not so much.

Why No Unemployment Benefits

WILMINGTON, OH - DECEMBER 16:  Layed-off worke...Image by Getty Images via @daylife If you have been watching the news you have heard that many Americans are losing their Unemployment Benefits. The government has cut a lot of folks off from getting benefits for being unemployed. The maximum number of weeks on unemployment I think is 16. The job market has not improved, and many Americans are now forced off the governmental aide that helps them stay afloat. The question is why has the Government decided to stop paying benefits to workers who are entitled to it. Has the Government ran out of money?

Do we really have money to give out for unemployed workers? Our country is in debt, so where is the money coming from to pay unemployment benefits ? Also, why isn't the Government making so that people can get retrained for new industries that are hiring?

How Do You Survive The New Great Depression

Unemployed people in front of a workhouse in L...Image via Wikipedia The year was 1929 and the economy was in a mess. Many families where living hand to mouth. During this time period, a lot of families where standing in soup lines, unemployed, and homeless. Now lets fast forward to the year 2010-2011, the economy is in a mess, and many people are unemployed. The great depression is among us again so it seems here in the year 2011. The question how does one survive and thrive during this time period. It has been recorded that there were more millionaires made during the Great depression than in any other period in history.

In my opinion, these great men and women came up with a problem that needed to be solved . In the year 2011 the game is the same, and the problems that need to be solved are new. The cure for the unemployed is to create small business that solved problems that stimulate the economy.

Credit and the debt there of has really brought this country to its knees. Credit can be a good thing if you know how to use it, but it can also be a liability if you don't use it right. I'm sure you have heard the term OPM or (Other Peoples Money) is a key to getting rich. Bad debt is what keeps you from getting wealthy. Wealth has been built on using other peoples money.
