primitive complains about job-search expenditures

Oh my.

<<<been there, seen that, done that.

Excresence happens; one accepts, adapts, and moves on.

Besides, I thought that after January 20, 2009, this sort of thing wasn't ever going to happen again.

The primitives promised us it wouldn't.

The last time I searched for a job my expenditures for just that purpose, while on UI mind you, was nearly $3000, most of it on fuel to go looking for a job, before I finally found one. And all of that came right out of my UI benefits, right along with all my other financial obligations.
 
No one seems to be talking about the cost of looking for a job. And those expenses come right out of UI checks. Now, not only can these people who have lost UI benefits not pay their bills, they also now have no money to look for a job.

1. And just try getting a job when you have no fixed address. I dare you.

The whole system is impossible to navigate without a home, car, clothes...living on the street isn't going to do it.

2. Don't tax deductions exist for job seeking expenses?

Hopefully you were able to take advantage of them. I know being jobless sucks, I've had a couple rounds of that since W [sic] started tanking the economy.

3. But with no income you don't owe any taxes.

Except sales and other taxes like that...and even homeless people pay sales tax...but get no refund.

But if you made enough to pay taxes then it is great you can deduct it from your tax bill...but not many unemployed can take advantage of that.

4. It doesn't really address the problem even if you can deduct.

We are talking folks barely making it, getting the money back next year doesn't give you the money now. Nice feature in the code for those who can take advantage but little help to an insult for folks in dire straits now.

5. I'm into a tax maven

But isn't there something called an earned income credit handled through tax forms? If you got any work at all, you may be eligible for this

I repeat.....I thought this sort of thing wasn't going to happen after January 20, 2009.

Not so, PeeDiddleJane, just follow the Truly Miraculous Trevails of LadyFreedumbReturns. She got TWO jobs and a free place to crash (Literally). And she didn't spend no $3,000.00 to get hers.

So, there!

    Probably includes the cost of one guaranteed-to-work pee cleaner for all manner of pills and dope.

I don't really understand what this primitive is whining about. I thought unemployment benefits were supposed to be a huge boon to the economy.

This DUmmie should be proud to be fueling the obama recovery, if only the recovery can manage to snatch those pennies and dollars from its dead, frozen, claw-like grip.

Yes DUmmie, job hunting expenses are deductible.  You have to itemize to claim them.
Google it, because you'll NEVER make enough money to actually do it.

It could cost that easily for Nadin, just imagine how expensive it is to print out her resume.

Not a problem.

In nadin's case, employers apply to her.

The last time I thought about changing jobs the recruiter and the company paid to fly me out, my meals, and hotel room.

There could be no better way to describe the DUhmasses dishonesty, ignorance, and blind partisanship in one thread.

The OP lies, and says he spent $3000 on job search costs, and not one of those zipperheads over there calls him on it.  Instead, just a bunch of predictable chimes for how this cost should be covered too, in addition to unemployment.  Pathetic. 

Gimme, gimme, gimme.

I can't even imagine how you can spend $3000, mostly in gas, according to him, on a job search.  It's just completely implausible.

But like Frank says, DUmmies lie, all the time, DUmmies lie.
