Meyer worked his entire career in banking before losing his job in 2008. He's been rolling from one temp assignment to the next since February. For a time, all six people we've been following were employed. Now it's down to four. Meyer's recordings often come back to the same theme. With my experience, I just, I still don't understand why I'm not being picked up quickly by a permanent job someplace. Even if I can go someplace and be a teller, you know, and then work myself back up into their ranks. And it's through this frustration about the job market that Meyer now looks at Congress and the president. They don't understand what we're going through at their constituents' level. They have no idea what we're going through. He thinks the president's jobs plan is nothing more than a Band-Aid for a gaping wound. But he's upset that Congress doesn't seem to be able to do anything without fighting. Both parties need to take and give a little bit. And then we can get back on the right track, I think. But it just seems like everybody is so mad at everybody all the time and so afraid that somebody is gonna get something that they want or don't want to have happen or they want to get credit for and somebody else is going to get credit for. It's just silly to me. A recent poll found approval for Congress at just 9 percent. Talk to Brian Barfield for a few minutes and it's easy to understand why.
