Sixteen states, with exhausted funds, are now paying benefits with borrowed cash, and their number could double by the year’s end.
Call centers and Web sites have been overwhelmed, leaving frustrated workers sometimes fighting for days to file an application.
While the strained program still makes more than 80 percent of initial payments within three weeks — slightly below the standard set under federal law — cases that require individual review are especially prone to delay. Thirty-eight states are failing to make those decisions within the federal deadline.
For workers who survive a paycheck at a time, even a week’s delay can mean a missed rent payment or foregone meals.
'Terrified'
Kenneth Kottwitz, a laid-off cabinet maker in Phoenix, waited three months for his benefits to arrive. He exhausted his savings, lost his apartment and moved to a homeless shelter.
Luis Coronel, a janitor at a San Francisco hotel, got $6,000 in back benefits after winning an appeal. But in the six months he spent waiting, there were times when he and his pregnant wife could not afford to eat.
“I was terrified my wife and daughter would have to live on the street,” Mr. Coronel said.
Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said: “Obviously, some of our states were in a pickle. The system wasn’t prepared to deal with the enormity of the calls coming in.”
The program’s problems, though well known, were brushed aside when unemployment was low.

Rothchild's ESTIMATED worth:
Morton (1962) noted that the Rothschild wealth was estimated at over $6 billion US in 1850. Not a significant amount in today's dollars; however, consider the potential future value compounded over 147 years!
Taking $6 billion (and assuming no erosion of the wealth base) and compounding that figure at various returns on investment (a conservative range of 4% to 8%) would suggest the following net worth of the Rothschild family enterprise:
$1.9 trillion US (@ 4%)
$7.8 trillion US (@ 5%)
$31.5 trillion US (@ 6%)
$125,189.1 trillion US (@ 7%)
$491,409.0 trillion US (@ 8%)
IS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AND REUTERS OWNED BY ROTHCHILDS?:

Amazing that 4-5 families can control the entire planet. Like evil master chess players.
ReplyDeleteIn 1880, a reporter for Reuters wrote a piece that stated if there were great troubles among a people or nation, look for a Rothschild 'hook-nose' lurking in the corner. That Zionists like Rothschild start all wars and conflicts for their benefit via their money-changer businesses and banks.
(That's historically what it said so don't get your panties in a bunch).
Enraged by this Amsdel(?) Rothschild bought Reuters out lock stock and barrel and became the new owner of American's primary news source.
That was the first major step in the takeover of the American Media. A year before the gunfight at the OK Corral!
Just in case anyone believes our media was ever outside their grasp in our lifetime.
Makes the TARP money look like pocket change.
ReplyDeleteThese people not only bought Ruters, but they have bought the near-whole of the United States of America. Meet your boss, no not the one you "thought" you worked for---the one who owns you.

ReplyDeleteWhat good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
Matthew 19:24 (New International Version)
Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
People, there is a cost for everything so they better enjoy it now!
I always thought that Jesus attacked the money changers in the temple as a way of telling his sheep who the real bad guy was and was going to be..money changers. Bankers.
ReplyDeleteHe knew..
No, see, what it really was was Jesus was telling his sheep that it's ok to beat bankers with whips.
ReplyDeleteLOL!! Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteLife is great for the banksters with all the stupid Amerikans.

Funny that when Americans think of a rich person most people visualize a Bill Gates or an Oprah Winfrey.
ReplyDeleteBill Gates could double his money everyday for the rest of his life and still be a street bum in comparison to the Rothschild wealth.
The Rothschilds are also the keepers of the Vatican's wealth. Gold, art and land plundered from the helpless in the crusades included in that amount.
One single family that has laid claim to 1/2 of the wealth of the entire planet. Mostly by being the 'money changers', the banksters of many nations.
This is not something you will see in Forbes Magazine of course. They own that also.
Ah, the gullible Goyim and their scripture quotes, how refreshing. Perhaps a review of Benjamin Freemans speech in 1960 will put things in perspective for you.
ReplyDelete".. and the gullible Christians with their fake savior that we scripted for them as well as 'blessed are thou that bless thee'; sheer nonsense; ie, they disrespect and hate you, so support them.
"Then we gave them worthless notes (fiat dollars) in exchange for assets that we stole away."
Keep clinging to BS that makes you apathetic. Don't worry about 'things' because the cartoon Jesus son/sun figurine will come and take you away, like Calgone! That was scripted for you long ago. Delusion sucks.
They smart.
You dumb.
The fool in his heart has said there is no God.
ReplyDeleteTHE UNIVERSE HAS BEEN AROUND FOR TRILLIONS OF YEARS AND WILL BE AROUND FOR TRILLIONS MORE--THE ROTHSCHILD TRILLIONS WILL TURN TO DUST AS WILL THEY AND ALL THEIR EVIL FRIENDS IN A FLICK OF A CANDLE NEVER TO BE SEEN OR HEARD OF AGAIN.... GT.
