We received this complaint reference the State’s ineptitude in dealing with the self employment claims during this CIVID hoax:
FED UP with AUGUSTA!
I spent FOUR HOURS trying to answer all the questions on the Federally
funded Maine State self-employment aid application this morning.
If there EVER was an example of what an effort to DELIBERATELY FRUSTRATE people’s efforts to get help would look like; or what an effort by a government to DELIBERATELY INSPIRE a revolutionary uprising of citizens against a State in order to have an excuse to get dictatorial…this is certainly what it would look like!!!
I tried literally DOZENS OF TIMES TO ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS, and they REPEATEDLY SAID THAT I HAD NOT ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS and aborted the process on me, forcing me to have to start FROM THE BEGINNING ALL OVER AGAIN!! When you hit the mouse to make the line appear on the space where the answer is supposed to go…the program would not allow you to type the answer in even when the program told you that you were wrong.
When I called the “help” phone line which the program suggested, the line would tell you to hold on until a person could help you, but then would immediately hang up on you.
One would really be tempted to wonder if these guys are really intending to put out any effort to help, or is it possible that the State of Maine is trying to muddy the waters to hide efforts to hang onto the Federal money THEMSELVES???
When Governor Mills took office after Governor LePage, the “rainy day
fund” that Governor LePage built up after GETTING THE STATE OUT OF DEBT was exhausted THREE MONTHS after she took office, and in just two years since her inauguration, we are back into BILLIONS of dollars of State debt!!!
I am a very conscientious taxpayer that rejoices in my ability to do my
civic duty, and I consider it a VICTORY to be able to pay my taxes! I am
self-employed and want to continue to work; but this situation with the
ReemployME help program is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS and absolutely DOES NOT inspire confidence or personal fidelity to our State government or any belief in their ability to get ANYTHING DONE!!!
I don’t swear…but I could certainly let loose with a LONG string of
expletives.
Our representatives need to know of our displeasure at close range, with
our blood pressure at dangerous levels, veins standing out on our necks,
and our voices adjusted to the uppermost reaches of volume that is physically possible!!!!! They need to be pulled out of their offices and taken to jail to think about what-all they are NOT DOING!!!!
