Why No Unemployment Benefits

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?

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.

Economy Slowed from Weak Summer Factory Activity

The economy lost strength in late summer as factory production weakened in areas of the East Coast and Midwest.

A survey the Federal Reserve released Wednesday found the slower growth spreading to more regions of the country.

Of the 12 regions tracked by the Fed, economic activity was mixed or slowed in five - New York, Philadelphia, Richmond, Atlanta and Chicago. Activity elsewhere was described as modest or pointed to positive developments.

Most of these cities dont have a stong economy which has lead to low production of goods and services within the cities economy.
