Unemployed Continue to Not Be Counted

A number of people continue to lose their employment benefits, 100,000, and yet, they are still unemployed. However, when the statistics for the unemployment numbers are announced, these folks are no where to be found. Since no benefits are being claimed by them, they do not count. Of course, the numbers do not even recognize those that are so discouraged, they've quit looking.

A new cut of benefits is affected several states with jobless numbers over 10%, and some over 11%. Some of the states losing the benefits include Illinois and California. Which seems strange because, according to the statistics, Illinois is under 10%. The sudden cuts will continue to hurt those needing the benefits, but it will benefit the Obama campaign.

The reason being is because, those not receiving the benefits, yet still unemployed, these people are not considered part of the unemployed. While the President pushes social issues (along with some of the state Governor's such as Perdue who is raising taxes, AGAIN, which is the only thing she knows how to do) and is constantly looking for the next issue to support in order to gain votes, hundreds of thousands will be losing benefits and still job hunting.
