That's exactly what i told them. I called to ask why two of my co-workers have already started their claims, when I filed two weeks before they did and am still waiting. The stupid bitch on the phone told me it was because of the economy.

I don't know where you live, but in New York City the Dole Machine is so efficient and greased that it is the only thing that actually works in this town. And that says it ALL.

In Ontario it's efficient if you are a union member. Union claims are fast-tracked within two weeks of applying. The rest of us have to wait at the back of the bus.

dont get too carried away....remember that our outgoing president created one of the largest government depts....the Department of Homeland Security.

as for higher taxes.....get with the program.....you can pay it now....or have your great grandchildren fit the bill...then again its all in creative financing....we had a surplus during the Clinton Admin.....maybe the obama admin can pull a rabbit out of a hat....and poof....

I mean he is surrounding himself with a lot of Clinton regulars right?....shit weirder things have happened.....


And the federal minimum wage will rise during his admin again to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009!

If you're a union member in NY, you never actually have to work, so I guess we have you there. But give us time.

This was a lie. They claimed a projected surplus to justify spending increases. This is an old legislative trick. Either I or the grandkids will have to pay more? Maybe if we keep having to fund free health care, education, prisons and social services for illegal beaners.

Just checking if you realize that Obama and the other grownups have yet to replace Bush, Cheney, and the other voodoo economists, etc.?

Handful, I've been there. I will NEVER collect Unemployment Insurance (now called employment insurance ha ha) again. If you can find cash work under the table the whole thiing becomes a bit more bearable.

I work seasonally so I've claimed for the last ten years, except for the two seasons I was self-employed and inelligible. The office here handles EI and welfare, but the civies who work there can't distinguish between the two and assume everyone who walks through the door is looking for a handout. It can be worthwhile if you work under the table, though.
