Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 12, 2013
I am going to read a letter that I received from a constituent who is about to have her unemployment benefits cut. I quote: Now that I am laid off and older, I am having difficulty finding a job. I understand now I cannot get unemployment extension. I have never collected anything in my life. So now what? I am going to be homeless. I do not qualify for anything because I made too much money. I have spent my savings, applied for 500-plus jobs to an aimless black hole. What am I going to do? A homeless shelter? My credit is damaged and soon I will not pass a background check. I do not qualify for retraining programs, et cetera, because I have excellent skill sets. All I hear is I am in a perfect storm, ``Sorry, you are not alone.'' I have been a productive member of society for many years and do not consider myself a ``taker.'' How many unemployed will lose their homes, dignity, and hope? I wanted you to know. So, to my constituent, I do know and Americans know. It was wrong to leave without fixing this problem. ____________________
