What are the benefits of a colostomy?

Americans, what is your priority, war in Afghanistan or benefits to the unemployed?

  • Yahoo have reported today that job benefits to millions of jobless will come to an end soon: CINCINNATI (Reuters) – Deborah Coleman lost her unemployment benefits in April, and now fears for millions of others if the Senate does not extend aid for the jobless."It's too late for me now," she said, fighting back tears at the Freestore Foodbank in the low-income Over-the-Rhine district near downtown Cincinnati. "But it will be terrible for the people who'll lose their benefits if Congress does nothing." For nearly two years, Coleman says she has filed an average of 30 job applications a day, but remains jobless. "People keep telling me there are jobs out there, but I haven't been able to find them." It is becoming increasingly apparent that US Admin will soon have to decide between waging a war in a far flung country or giving unemployment benefits to country's jobless. What is your priority ?

  • Answer:

    As an independant Scot i can answer by saying that Americans feel they are protecting their future interests by the war in Afghanistan. The "war" in Iraq was for the same reasons. And it's not just about oil - i believe the reason "the west" fight wars in these countries is also because they have the potential to destabilise the whole entire regions - can you imagine Pakistan's nuclear weapons in the hands of the Taliban (Mujahadini?)? That would mean Armageddon. ...

The War on Terror. If we don't get that right, all of the employed and unemployed alike will be dead.

They have nothing at all to do with each other. The Democrats in Congress, passed a rule saying that all new bills, must be funded Then they want to pass an unemployment bill, and not fund it IE: they want to borrow the money from China to pay for it. Other members of Congress, said no to the borrowing, that if they want the new unemployment Bill, then they have to find the money in another part of the budget. or use the unspent Stimulus money, of which there are hundreds of billion. The Democrats refused to use the unspent Stimulus money or to find money from somewhere else. So no unemployment Bill
