Jobless in America (Remember, Jobless means no healthcare too in USA)

Job cuts across the board, 72,500 people in the cold
January 26, 2009
Today might go down in history as DarkGray Money. It seems that companies across all industries have decided to trim their work force today. “Companies today announcing at least 72,500 job cuts.”

We ares speechless, wanting to know how spending more money, giving more bailouts, paying for more wars is going to soften the blow to these 72,500 people. What will the 300 dollars in tax rebate check do for us now?

The List
Caterpillar Inc - 20,000 jobs
Sprint Nextel Corp - 8,000 jobs,
Home Depot Inc - 7,000 jobs,
Pfizer Inc - 19,000 jobs

American jobless claims hit a 26-year high, reaching 589,000 in the week ended Jan. 17.
