Without the extra income we will not survive.
I'm 52 years-old and after working 11 years for the same company, I lost my job as a delivery driver for an office supply company in March.
I've applied to a number of jobs since, but I've had no luck. The older you are, the harder it is to get a job.
It wasn't just the job I lost this year. With no income coming in, we lost our house and farm due to foreclosure.
My wife now has to work her butt off at two nursing jobs, and we're still barely surviving the way it is.
Our fourth child is now in college and we try to help him out. But without unemployment benefits, it's going to be so much harder. I keep asking, what's going to happen to us?
Five years ago, the government bailed out big auto companies and the banking industry to keep them from going under. Why can't they help us individuals out?
