And lest we forget who the real progenitors of this economic downturn are:
Although this is quite true in normal times of 5% unemployment, it's also irrelevent when tens of millions of jobs have been lost, real unemployment is aournd 20% and there are 5 or more applicants for every job. Plus, it's political suicide. Telling the millions of people who have lost their jobs and can't find anything even at much lower wages that it's there fault is a great way for Pubs to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory next November. Leave it to the stupid party to find a way to screw it up.
The problem is not “benefits” but an Anti-American, Anti-Capitalist, Marxist Administration.
He is intentionally destroying the nation. Economically, Morally and Militarily.
We have no pattern for this delima.
All the Stupid ass Republicans need to do is trot out Obumbos statement last year where he said EXACTLY what the Republicans are saying Now,That Extending Unemployment Benefits NEED to be paid for!What is wrong with these Incompetent Republicans? Feinstein from California another Left wing loon said that pretty soon no One is going to go back to work if we keep extending these Benefits .
If we only had a Leader who Had a Mouth and some Balls.
The Republicans are the Biggest Loosers I have ever seen,How can anyone vote for these Buffoons when this is handed to them on a silver Platter and they dont have a Clue.
I believe it was in February 09 that the Democratic Congress passed the “pay-go” bill that was supposed to require offsetting spending cuts for any spending increase. It was a weak attempt to show the public they were concerned about the deficit. The Pubbies are only holding them to their own bill now.
Our side still does a piss poor job at explaining and not coming off sounding like we’re callous...I watched the MSM 6:30 news last night and nearly choked...it’s been a while since I watched. The sound bytes are ridiculous. We have to do a much better job or we’ll be the same republicans who want to starve the old people and babies.
“He who doesn’t work, neither shall he eat”
Pay-Go. Make the Kenyan live up to his rhetoric. But that requires the GOP to have stones.
And he blew off 4 fingers of his right hand doing it... he never uses anything on the right so...

The basic problem, FWIW, is that extending unemployment benefits reduces pressure on Congress to change their socialistic ways.
Ending them is pro-capitalism.
That’s all any Pubbie with a set of stones and a spine needs to say when the Dry By Media starts to get snippy.
WRONG! This show how screwed up our representation is in Congress. NOTHING is paid for, it's all stolen. Stop dealing in stolen goods!
Send conservatives to Washington, we have precious few there now.
With over 10% unemployment, the GOP just handed Obambi a lot of ammo for November.
Kind of wondered what the play book would be to blow the election.
