The number of Americans filing first- time claims for unemployment benefits fell last week to the lowest since January, a sign the labor market is deteriorating more slowly as the economy emerges from the recession.

Who are these people trying to kid? Let’s put this in simple terms. They are trying to say unemployment claims are dropping but in reality they aren’t. Why? Well because over half of America has done used up their benefits and are desperately looking for work but these numbers do not reflect this.

Say there are 100 people in America and 95 of them already filed for unemployment and now has used up their benefits. Well there are only 5 new applicants who filed , that shows a drop in people filing for unemployment of course but isn’t showing you the whole truth.

If these 95 people whose unemployment benefits has ran out would be extended and was able to file for more benefits they would and those numbers would rise.

Why does government lie to us and try to cover up the truth. Time to wake up America, our government must think we are stupid. Write your representatives and let them know you aren’t going to take all their lying no more.

You asked for change, well i have seen no change in government from any other administration except for just more cover ups and lies.

Wonder what the unemployment office would think if you drove up to file your claim driving a BMW? We poor people cannot even get unemployment until our severance pay runs out and then when we get unemployment we still have to pay taxes on it to pay these execs salaries.

Are you sick and tired of this? Then don’t just sit there and say “I can’t do anything” and do something. Write your congressman today.

A member of the Senate Judiciary Committee is asking the nation’s top four wireless carriers to justify the rising rates they charge users to send and receive text messages.

Consumers are paying more than 20 cents per message, up from 10 cents in 2005. This increase “does not appear to be justified by rising costs in delivering text messages.

The senator is concerned that all four of the companies appear to have adopted identical price increases at nearly the same time.

These rate hikes have occurred during the industry’s recent consolidation, which has reduced the number of national wireless carriers in the U.S. to four from six.
