corrected, the numbers of the UNEMPLOYED went up by at least .5% today?
today 71,400 people lost their jobs... http://money.cnn.com/2009/01/26/news/eco... when are our politicians going to understand they need to act and they need to act selflessly and immediately suspend personal income taxes. today's losses, at an average wage rate of $38,000 means our GDP went down by 2.7 billion dollars just on these lay offs. forget how many cars won't be bought (or paid for) or houses, or bottles of wine, widgets and you can just forget about sitting down in a restaurant. anybody know how much is the total impact of an american losing his/her job? (american market) what is the impact in other countries as well? here are some bailout facts that will make you cry: $57,971 is what the bailout has cost you each (US Taxpayers). or $26,331 for evey man woman and child in the US. this is before this next proposed round the POTUS is now pushing through the house. what would you do if they just gave your $60,000 directly to you (instead of to GM, Citi Bank, AIG, etc)? here are the links and math: cost of bailout - $8,000,000,000,000 http://www.prisonplanet.com/cost-of-bail...

- Wow, I would pay off bills and insulate and put new windows in my house. I'm paying $360.00 a month to heat my house with propane every month of the year. It's killing me because my work hours have been cut.
