Unemployment: Will politicians show some heart?

Re: “America’s jobless facing bleak choices,” (TNT, 8/9).

If something isn’t done soon by those in a position to provide help for the country’s jobless, millions of them could be homeless.

Instead, in this time of unprecedented trouble political leaders are talking about each other instead of to each other.

Certainly, it can’t have anything to do with an election coming up in November, can it?

If so, maybe the saying is true: “Artificial hearts are nothing new - some politicians have had them for years.”
