Brett A, "fail in any fight"? Really. That's your mentality. A couple of words this way or that, and you're ready to fight. Bet you've got a lot of quality personal relationships. Please don't drag your baggage into a simple on-line forum. Can you keep it civilized? I challenge you. Carry on a respectful conversation, without "blowing your cork". OK?

This might give some insight why Obama is the worst president in our history. How is that hope and change working for us?----http://blog.heritage.org/2010/03/05/morning-bell-so-hows-that-pivot-to-jobs-going/

Don't you just love that man? "March 5 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama’s budget proposal would generate bigger deficits than advertised every year of the next decade, with the shortfalls totaling $1.2 trillion more than the administration estimated, according to the Congressional Budget Office. The nonpartisan agency said today the deficit will remain above 4 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product for the foreseeable future while the publicly held debt will zoom to $20.3 trillion, amounting to 90 percent of GDP by 2020. By then, interest payments on the debt will have quadrupled to more than $900 billion annually, the report said. Deficits between 2011 and 2020 would total $9.76 trillion, the CBO said." Appears to me we will all be paid in treasury notes with deferred interest. Oh, what the heck, it is only money.

Now to the teaching comment. Yes bob because they are on year contracts. A road construction worker is in a fairly similar situation. They are paid hourly for the simple fact that during the summer months they are putting in 60 to 80 per week. Which gives them great overtime pay and is why most can afford to not work during their layoff period and collect unemployment. However, that unemployment last for only a few months with a couple of extension possibilities. Now, back to my point that keeps flying over your head (go get a ladder and try to catch it this time): what we are enabling right now is a society that turns down jobs because the government will pay them to stay home and we keep extending the time period for which one can stay on unemployment. Bob would you say about a person that has been on unemployment for the last 12 months, and continues to turn down jobs because unemployment pays them the same?

I don't recall where I said seasonal workers are free loaders. Are you having trouble staying in reality. Your argument falls apart so you just start making things up. Again Bob I will slow things down for you. If you have lost your job, for whatever reason, and you pass on job after job to stay on unemployment there is a problem there. That would be called free loading. Would you not agree?
