Unemployment

Well here it is. I have been out of work for over 5 months. I talk to people I know all the time about positions that may be available. They all tell me the same thing. I checked and we are not hiring in that area right now. Every once in a while I get an email about a job they hear about, but I don't have an inside person. I can't work nights or weekends. I learn new things quickly. What I really want is a position where I can work as a Business Analyst for a financial company. It would be great if I got a position like that. I love finance and understand it and could couple it with my experience.

Supreme Court changes are always odd. It is funny how the law can be judged both liberally and conservatively. Abortion is a big issue of course. I am sure Obama asked the new judge if she was pro life or pro choice. He then told the Pope he wanted to reduce the number of abortions. He is pro choice, but I don't know if he feels that it is right. We need to not reduce abortions, but rather reduce unwanted pregnancies. So many kids today have issues cause they really were not wanted. They live with a relative. When my Grandmother died she was 83 and was taking care of her Great Grandchild. She got the shingles and died of emphysema.

I was against the way the first stimulus was done, they would have to really improve on the next one. And maybe even more important the health care. We need to reduce household spending on health. Our health system is great. We live longer than before. We are more conscious of our bodies and have the best medications. People don't smoke as much. People don't eat well either. I think the reduction of health spending is huge especially in the medicare system that much of our population is moving to. I would like to get insurance. I need it. I don't want a government run one though. Where your premiums would be tied to income and wasteful spending would occur. The system would be hammered by every President and Congress. Maybe if they did a subsidy it would be OK, but I do not see a government run insurance company working well. Like medicare it would eventually run out of money and everyone who doesn't use that health insurance would still be paying for it through taxes. Not a good idea.
