Silver Lining Hard to Find for Some on Anniversary of Stimulus

FOXNews.com - Silver Lining Hard to Find for Some on Anniversary of Stimulus

The United States of America owes $1.6 trillion more today than it did a year ago. The jobless rate has climbed from 8.1 percent to 9.7 percent. And the deficit has soared to record levels, with another record likely to be set this year.

Happy anniversary.

My Thoughts
After being unemployed for 14 months, I can start the stimulus has done very little for me. I did get an extension to my unemployment insurance, but I would much rather have a job. My brother jokingly asks me about enjoying my unemployment check. Although he doesn't mean anything by it, I still feel that I'm taking money for doing nothing.

This is the first time in my life that I have been receiving government money. I can tell you that I do not enjoy it and would much rather have a job.
