Obama proposes letting the jobless sue for discrimination

They might be doing those credit checks with the suits, but they don't do them with the actual workers...or at least not up here.

On a good note, I was talking to some chick on the phone this morning from the unemployment office and I found out I can technically draw unemployment until next summer. Something called "tier two" from the Feds. Laying on the couch surfing the net and football on the tube ftw!

Did you initiate a claim prior to July 1st? My understanding is anyone who files in the second half of the year will be excluded from the extensions.

Those checks have been rolling in since January.

That answers my question.

Do these forms of racial discrimnation come from dreams or are they from KKK newsletters? It is a fact that minorities and single women have more problems with their credit, often the women have bad credit due to former husbands who they have dumped in an effort to straighten out their lives and now this will discriminate against them based on unverified information from faceless credit reporting agencies. More repulsive racism and sexism. Anyone knows darn well that this kind of discrimination favors white males. Disgusting.

Do you ever actually read what people post, or do you just plow through life, spewing your insipid diatribes in real life too? For some jobs, where there is a massive potential liability, it is reasonable to demand a credit check of someone. I don't make broad statements, like you love to do so much. If someone doesn't have substantial access to money or resources in a company that would create a liability, then no, there is no reason to run a credit check on them.

Gary, this post is just pathetic, even by your standards.

So for sensitive jobs only we should do all we can to exclude women and minorities, without actually saying so, right? wink, wink. They cannot be trusted with money or resources? OMG!!!!!!!

It is well known that minorities and single women tend to have lower credit scores than white males. You know it. This type of practice is just as racist as a poll tax, every bit as much. Dems have been peeved ever since they cannot ask what race or sex someone is on a job application and continually look for ways to weed out women and minorities. It is revolting. Defending it is just as bad.

Please stop this type of posting here.
