The First 100 Days: Franklin Roosevelt Pioneered the 100-Day Concept

All these comments are not even real sentences? What are they talking about?

I just want to say thank you for posting this. I have a History Final and this is one of my questions I have to know what the "100 Days" are.

They just closed another plant down here (I think this is one of the last ones to go since 9/11), originally american, around 60 years old, and was bought out by the Japanese some years ago. They're keeping some people whom they will be taking to their overseas plant to work. Of course the majority of the americans who worked there are standing in the unemployment line. I talked to a lady at the unemployment office who'd came from the plant to file for unemployment. Many of these Americans worked there their entire lives, or 2-3 decades.

The news claims the unemployment rate is around 10%. They don't want to freak people out because they might get antsy and start making a big fuss trying to seriously get some changes made. An employee at the unemployment office told me they have around 500 job listings in the job bank. My guess is there must be at least 75,000 or more people unemployed at this location. They have cleared out an isle in the middle of all the desks at this job service site, where they put tables together, about a 30 feet stretch where they now have cardboard boxes with the little packets with each unemployment recipients info and they just keep them on the table for ready access. Imagine a 30 feet stretch of boxes filled with little files packed from one end to the other. That's a whoooooooooooooooole lot of people with only 500 jobs to go around. People are parking on the grass now. At 4pm when things use to be sizzling out for the day, the line is to the door, or out the door. At 5:30 pm (business hours 5pm close) people are just finishing the days business. People are having to park on the grass.

Across the street from the unemployment office is the local technical college, where 87% of the students must receive federal aid for their tuition and books. They have no choice because most of the jobs have been shipped overseas. For example, after a hundred years what are they doing opening a huge Pepsi plant in China when we need our plants reopened here in the US. There are so many students trying to get an education that they are also having to park on the grass. These students are trying to get an education so they can hopefully get a job when they graduate. But those who are graduating must walk across the street and join the unemployment line because there are not even anywhere near close enough jobs to go around for the thousand upon thousands of people whose livelihood was sold out before the current president took office.

In my town, a resort town with a lot of restaurants and motels, there are more foreigners than Americans with jobs. Some of them can't even speak English. I think that anyone who has a local business should not be allowed to hire a foreigner who is not an American citizen, as long as we have the unemployment crisis that we do. It just is not fair to the Ameircan people who have worked for all these years and paid in taxes for their security to be given to foreigners. It's just wrong.

We Americans have not deserved this mess. of SC 3:23PM December 12, 2009
