I am one who is receiving unemployment and this is all I have as far as an income, I desparately need it. I am a 54 year old african-american woman who has been unemployed since May 19, 2009 after my job was outsourced to India.  I worked at a big bank that received stimulus money, I had the worst managers in all my working career but there was nothing I could do or say to save my job and my co-workers jobs. The senate and congress don't have a clue how the economy is devastating people and changing their lives, people are struggling - to the 10th power. I'm talking about regular working class, not the wealthy. It is shocking how the middle class is slowly diminishing and no one is doing anything to help them.  Only in America do you work like a dog and get laid off - we send jobs to other countries - do other countries send their jobs to America - ?????  I think not wake up people - we ARE our brothers keepers, we need new people in congress and I will definitely be voting out anyone who does not help people, time out for all this lobbying BS
