Today’s reason hasn’t garnered much response on Facebook:
Reason #4 why I’m a Democrat: I have family members who have received unemployment benefits over the past couple of years. The president extended unemployment insurance–assisting 2.5 million Americans who lost their jobs in the recession. Romney thinks workers should pay for their own unemployment benefits through individual savings accounts. Romney even said it’s an “indisputable fact” that extending jobless benefits discourages people from finding work.

It’s very interesting to follow the debates about the social system in the USA. In Germany we have a very good working social system since the 19th. century. It’s costs a lot of money, of course. But it helps people and encourage them to find new work nontheless. I hope America will vote for Obama, because he has understand things the Republicans will never understand (as far as I know the American Republicans from my German point of view).
