Unemployment solutions

CNNmoney reports "Two years of unemployment benefits just isn't enough for some jobless Americans. 16 million people are still without jobs and 11 million are receiving unemployment benefits." Many of my close friends are currently looking for fulltime employment and having no luck.

Since Obama's administration is having difficultly jump starting our economy I've thought of some ideas to increase jobs.

-Get rid of those damn self-checkout machines and hire real-life cashiers again.

-Hollywood should stop funding all movies that star Nicolas Cage. The last National Treasure budget was $130,000,000. That kind of money could really help a lot of people put food on their tables.

-Hire three times as many employees at all cell phone and Mac stores. I've never left an AT&T store in under an hour. More employees are desperately needed here.

-Hire a babysitter for every single Gosselin kid, Duggar child and all of Octomom's baby army.

-Every home in America should come with frozen yogurt bar that includes one employee to restock the yogurt and M&M tray.

Great ideas! I'd suggest getting rid of automated phone trees at businesses and hiring a live person to talk to.

I think you should start a Facebook group for that..if it can work for Betty White...

Also, maybe T-Mobile should hire some workers to walk around with Wi-Fi sets, so maybe their costumers would get service in more than a couple of 5x5 feet squares every 10 miles.
