a critical mass has not yet being reached. Of the 330k unemployed many are not without a job in that they are working part-time or half weeks. Many of those unemployed are using redundancy payments or savings. That will run out. The jobs will continue to run scarce. We may get through this spring without civil unrest. But when summer jobs fail to materialise, social welfare crackdowns commence and rates have to be cut (which they will), next autumn will be very bleak.
A clear 3 year plan is needed now. If cowen does not deliver it on saturday he should be the next to get the sack.. .

A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.
WEAVER, HENRY GRADY,

Who would organize the unemployed anyway.
When you're without you're forgotten about.

It's like the farmers, they're so randomly distributed across Ireland that they're a difficult group to mobilise.
