A question

I've been working for almost forty years.
I've had over thirty jobs.
From Reagan to Bush II, none of the attempts at trickle down economics has ever trickled a dollar down to me.
None of the tax breaks for job creators has ever created a job for me.
I'm not alone.
Why should I think it will work this time?

I'm sure this would have been more effective if I had posted a shady picture of me with the message written on a piece of cardboard. I'm just not that photogenic.

They said, please crawl away and die quietly

Currently, it takes a laid off worker over 55 five weeks longer to find a new job--if they find one at all--than it does someone under 55. Many experts tell us we should just get used to the fact we will never work again. That's nice for those securely employed experts to say. They don't tell us how to keep our homes or even how to live if we never work again. I'm 54 and unemployed.

No blogging this week

I actually have some paid writing work. It's only the second time this year.
