So, if the government gives them money, they will turn around and spend it. They‘ve got to.

No, they don't. Heard this the other night because my V-chip failed for the very first time. Gotta get a new one.

Wow, think how much the economy would be stimulated if ALL OF US were drawing unemployment benefits.

[mohresearcher]

Twenty-six weeks is six months. If you can’t find ANY JOB in six months, what is the probability of you finding employment after your benefits expire? Probabily better than still receiving unemployment checks, which gets people accustomed to not working and not looking for work.

Well let’s think about this. How many people does it take to process the application for benefits, two, three, ten? Depends on the gubmint. How many apps can a gubmint grunt process in a day? And what’s his salary? as opposed to...how much grab can a gub grunt grant?
You know, she could be onto something! If we employ more people to give people money, than we have people getting money, we have more employment!
There’s just one hitch. Where will the gubmint get the loot to pay the caseworkers at unemployment?
Rachel, do you know?
Does anybody?
(all FReeper hands go up)
Er...Mr. Galt, where are you going? We’re not finished here!

So, all this time the libtards have been telling us trickle down economics doesn't work what they really meant is that it only works if the government does the trickling on us.

I did a bio once on Maddow and discovered she was a Stanford grad and a Rhodes Scholar (attended Oxford). This puzzled me a great deal. How can a person graduate from a top line university and be so incredible stupid and foolish. The only explanation I can come up with is that liberalism destroys the cognitive functions of the brain. She may have had a degree of intellectual prowess early in her life but when she crossed over to the dark side of liberalism, it destroyed any sense of reality. As the Radio talk show host Michael Savage says all the time; Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. Maddow has this disorder in spades.

Also in the same report:

The nonpartisan CBO endorsed alchemy as a way to increase gold holdings and shrink debt, consulting Miss Cleo to determine lucky Lotto numbers that could magnify the alchemy profits, and finally to employ perpetual motion and cold fusion as ways to use green technology to put people to work and reduce CO2.

Well, if unemployment benefits are so beneficial to the economy I suggest that Madcow do her part to help Barry and the Democrat Party and quit her job.

[junta]

I suggest firing Madcow and see how that benefits the economy. It just might, proving her right in a fashion.
