Reply #15: ... and who isn't aware of that? But ANY report which doesn't discuss the overall

[defendandprotect]

situation with unemployment is being less than honest --

especially with Obama's new trade agreements with Korea and Colombia coming in !!

Reuters -- or any other news organization -- discussing the subject should cover the

full scope of unemployment problems in America.

The article also seems to have changed somewhat from the other day -- as I recalled it

it mentioned that many unemployed are waiting weeks or longer before applying for

unemployment benefits --

HOWEVER, if you're familiar with what's going on with unemployment services, the offices

are understaffed and underequipped, with too few phone lines and againg computers.

Therefore, it is causing the unemployed to spend fruitless time on the telphone trying to

reach someone to help. Needless to say, with the huge numbers of unemployed, this seems

a purposeful effort to keep the numbers down --

It's also very difficult for those already receiving benefits when they have questions --

or problems -- almost impossible to get thru to unemployment offices for weeks!!

Again -- the info in the article is "unreliable" because it doesn't tell the full story.

And, it is allegedly the job of our "free press" to do that, as I recall.
