States ignored warnings on unemployment insurance - Yahoo! News

News: "States ignored warnings on unemployment insurance WASHINGTON – State officials had plenty of warning. Over the past three decades, two national commissions and a series of government audits sounded alarms about the dwindling amount of money states were setting aside to pay unemployment insurance to laid-off workers. 'Trust Fund Reserves Inadequate,' federal auditors said in a 1988 report. It's clear now the warnings were pretty much ignored. Instead, states kept whittling away at the trust funds, mostly by cutting unemployment insurance taxes at the behest of the business community. The low balances hastened insolvency when the recession hit, leading about 30 states to borrow $41.5 billion from the federal government to pay unemployment benefits to their growing population of jobless. The ramifications will be felt for years."

Create don't celebrate VALENTINE"S DAY

Sheila's testimony reads.... "Due to dissin..

or self attacks..

on Valentines w/ heart affects.. what scandalizes a meaningless

harmful act..scores by letting both barrels aim and fire at will.

.tags me the subject..the angry oppress issues of losing time n a

bottle that wore no home with a village raised..confines

the wisdom ..she knows no truths.. where life has a cross of worship

and find a light at the end of the tunnel..criteria motives

raises roots..plants start to grow.. balances what once showed whay

off from a distance, through space ..time holds it's place beyond

what understood...a heart is a house of love and I AM PROOF..

.Create..Believe it or NOT... Shakespeare's relative..

reads,the plot thickens..

a pile of mess, secretions all

over me..where L O V E

left no warning..B on Guard..Peace; life saw u coming..

the Devil was right behind.. hating..I become..a knife,

cuts evil.. reasons I cry...finds me GUILTY until proven..innocent...

JUDGES me.. the accused... Sheila T Jordan...

New Deal - "The federal government commissioned a series of public murals from the artists it employed. William Gropper's 'Construction of a Dam' (1939), is characteristic of much of the art of the 1930s, with workers seen in heroic poses, laboring in unison to complete a great public project"
