Unemployment: Triple Dipping our way to 50% Benefits Who?

Welcome to TishTrek - THE JOB BLOG:

If you don't have a job, you really need to stop playing WOW and pay attention! If you don't research 'why' so many Americans are standing on the unemployment line, we'll never solve the root causes for this disaster... Here's another letter to the Wall Street Journal that was not published:

Subject: Gold(man's) Finger: Russian Roulette & Jobs Double-Dip


Dear Editor,

Right after watching a recent Warren Buffet NPR interview on-line, I read your editorial "The Jobs Double-Dip" (July 9th). Obviously, the job numbers can't be "lagging indicators" if the U.S. is playing 'Russian Roulette' with the Debt Ceiling and 'Hide-&-Seek' with jobs.

Our nation has been under attack from inside the White House for over twenty years because leveling 'some' global economic playing field by undermining the U.S.'s financial health is a strategy, not an accidental down-turn. It's time to burst through these smoke-screens, job numbers and talking points to revive the toxic economic wasteland Mr. Buffet and Goldman Sachs helped create.

A 20-year corporate strategy executed by Goldman Sachs to make sure their executives had a systemic presence and financial decision authority in every facet of our government did the most damage to our country because it served to bolster the interests of Goldman's ultra high net worth customers and put the debts and failures of their company and counter-parties on the backs of our children and grandkids.

It's time for them to stop intentionally creating one ultra-urgent and contrived financial crisis after another which only serves to justify government action plans insisted on and executed by all the 'Goldman Guys' - Treasury & Fed Heads Rubin, Geithner et al - the nation's financial advisors to three U.S. Presidents - Clinton, Bush & Obama.

Throw Wall Street out of the 'People's House' or be prepared for a demoralizing 'Job Triple-Dip' like no other.
