I am one of the 37,999 affected & I can't tell you what a nightmare the government playing with unemployment & people's lives has been. As someone who is still fortunately young and has education and multiple skill sets, I have been on unemployment for over a year and still cannot find a job. I cannot support myself & my children off of a part-time, $8/hr job. There are no jobs. This country is completely suffering but everyone just keeps pointing the finger & passing blame - it's crazy & I never thought I would experience anything like this in this country or in my lifetime. shewritesit.com
