Indiana Unemployment To Add Armed Guards At 36 Offices

[B Calm]

In a move to prepare for the end of unemployment benefits for some of those in the Hoosier state, 36 Indiana unemployment agencies are adding armed guards. The move is in anticipation of possible anger and violence from those who will no longer be able to get any benefits. The maximum time period to receive unemployment compensation is 99 weeks. There have been extensions given in the past, but at the end of November there will be no more extensions. The sate of Indiana unemployment offices estimate for the month of December another 100,000 will reach the end of their benefits.

The cost of adding armed security guards to state agencies is said to be one million dollars. It will be paid for with federal funds that are to be used for unemployment expenses.

Indiana is not the only state that could face problems with unemployment. A study revealed about 2 million United States Citizens will lose their unemployment compensation by the end of the year as well. If our Congress approved another benefit extension before the end of November, this scenario could possibly be avoided. If this study is correct, armed guards may become a regular sight at unemployment agencies across the United States.

1. Let McConnell/Boehner own THIS.

Wonder if those evil f*ckers will have the nerve to stop extending benefits when violence breaks out?

6. The privatized Prisons will be

happy to take them in.

All I gotta say, if one is hungry....steal from Walmart, not your neighbors. Or go to the rich part of town and camp out and demand food. Don't turn on your fellow citizen.

As the bumper sticker says: End World Hunger. Eat the Rich.

3. The unemployment office I used to spend a lot of time in always had an armed guard there

That was in the 1980's.
