Oh, its only going to get worse. The new stimulus bill calls for unemployment extensions and even more per week. This is wonderful, but what happens when the bailout money runs out. Do you honestly believe the unemployment rate will be at zero? please. Until this state learns to manage something called a budget, it will always be in the hole. But then balancing a budget might require dipping into the pocketbooks of dirty politicians and we can't have that. After all, what in the world would they do if they only had 200,000 per year to live on? oh, mercy me.....
