In October the national unemployment rate hit 10.3% this equates to approximately over 15 million Americans left jobless, many with little hope of returning to work in the near future. However perhaps there is hope out there a hope that has yet to be revealed.
INVESTIGATIVE GUY John Mattes has uncovered a federal program designed to give free gas cards to the unemployed but is a secret to those it's designed to help. The U.S. Labor Department provides millions of dollars in supportive services to the states for the unemployed. The program in some areas provides free gas cards, child care assistance and even pays for job interview clothing -- but the program has never been publicized so the unemployed don't know it exists or how to ask for it.

Cruising in Pacific Beach on My Scooter (San Diego, CA)
Not too long ago I decided to buy a scooter to save gas. I've been driving my scooter more and more as I realize the simplicity of dashing to Garnet or the Bird Rock, or to any other local places. Because I spend 85% of my life in PB, La Jolla, Mission Bay and sometimes Ocean Beach; I drive my scooter almost everywhere.
Just the other day I went to meet up with a client that lives in P.B. It literally only took me 5 minutes to get there.
I can cut in front of cars, take off faster at stop signs and lights and I can nearly park anywhere. Here's a picture of my scooter parked in front of a storage pod made by Big Box Storage San Diego.

I bought the scooter at that one scooter shop right on Grand & Lamont that always has scooters out front on display. Here's a link to their website. http://www.scooterandcycle.com/ (I only link to these guys because I'm happy with their services.)

I love my scooter, just FYI.
