There’s been 3 things on my mind this week: Unemployment Benefits Pay, Ponzi ‘Bernie’ Madoff, and the Illinois Governor.
This week has been full of negative news. To put a positive spin on it, all my investments I’ve made since September this year are up and Obama is 33 days away from becoming our 44th president.
The reason I write about unemployment benefits is because unemployment levels are increasing in the rocky economic times. Where does the money come from? Bush signed an extension of unemployment benefits but did you know that the funds are managed by state agencies, not the Federal Government? Where does the money come from? I’m not sure, if you know you can post a comment and let us know. Some states have 6 months of funds left, some are better off. Where does the money come from?
The SEC should be fined for not catching Mr. Madoff. They should track down all the money that he ‘managed’ and take it back and spread it proportionally to the investors who were swindled. In a perfect world that would happen. Apparently Mr. Ponzi, eh, uh, I mean Mr. Madoff is out of prison on $10 million bail. Where’d he get $10 million? Crime pays. They should take everything he has, and everything he’s given to relatives and friends.
Yahoo! Finance has been back to their bi-polar ways. Don’t read the headlines, just read the articles.
This week’s Disgraced Politician of the Week is Rod Blagojevich. Step down you punk ass. He’s the epitome for everything that is wrong with our leadership. What happened to honesty? You’re reaction to this situation is one of two: you’re either indifferent, or angry, either way I bet you just chalked it up to another government scandal. . . sadly, you’re right. Am I the only one who’s mad as hell about our lack of leadership situation? Let’s hope Obama has his shit together.
