As much as I dis-like Obama we can't really blame him for the high unemployment above 8%. The Dems and Repubs are to blame. I believe that unemployment could drop 25% from its current percentage with stricter guide lines.

Unemployment has to be revamped. Many people are gouging the system. Why would a person look for a job making 600 bucks a week on unemployment for 99 wks., having direct deposit while drinking cocktails in a warm climate sending in a false report that they are looking for work.

Just the other morning talking at the coffee shop a lobsterman pulling in 4,000 a week getting paid cash not declaring it in his S-corporation collecting his 600 weekly. I know others in construction doing the same thing.

Yes there are people that deserve it. People that think there is no corruption in the unemployment system live in a glass bubble.
