[Olog-hai]

Another one parroting this line. Looks like this is going to become the new Inner Party mantra for the end of the year.

[Uncle Miltie]

The stupidity of Schumer just makes my head hurt.

If Jobless Benefits are “The Best Stimulus There Is”, then we should ALL GO ON UNEMPLOYMENT!!!!!

That would solve all our ills, according to Schumer.

Dumber than a box of rocks.

[plain talk]

Yes! He is right. It stimulates joblessness. Is that what he wants?

[Rennes Templar]

Unemployment benefits soon to become classified as a government job, unemployemnt rolls to go way down.

[WKUHilltopper]

So why doesn’t Schumer do his patriotic duty, help stimulate the economy by going on unemployment benefits himself?

[GeronL]

“Jobless benefits help the economy”

is exactly like the Broken Window Fallacy

it’s the same thing really

If we were all uemployed, this economy would be really rocking!! uh... no

[A Navy Vet]

All I can say to such inanity is.. oh my gawd. I know I’m sounding old, but such “retardation” is prevalent in America and to take care of yourselves. There is no going back anytime soon.

[WashingtonSource]

This makes Schumer dumber than Pelosi, who is dumber than a box of rocks. Amazing.

[A Navy Vet]

"...saying it would create the most jobs for the money."

And who's money would that be? Oh right, Obambi's stash.

[Da Coyote]

Forgive him, for he is Dim-bulb-crat, and higher mental functions (such as elementary economics) are completely beyond his ability.

[Brett66]

Why don’t we make printing or copying money legal? That way no one will ever have to go without again.

[Red Badger]

In a way, he’s right.

It keeps people from storming Capitol Hill and dragging them out to the nearest tree.................

[NonValueAdded]

Technically no. A "stimulus" should add activity that would otherwise not be there. Jobless benefits might have the effect of keeping existing spending going when the jobless person falls off their own personal financial cliff, i.e. the family keeps eating. But that isn't really stimulative and most benefits help a family meet only their most basic needs.

[BenLurkin]

He bascially admits that using “stimulus” to buy votes is the ‘Rat plan.

[FlipWilson]

No jobless benefits. Spread the pain. If the voters like Obama and think that his tax raising policies create jobs then let them test that theory. If the dems are correct, then nobody need worry about jobless benefits as the jobs will be coming. It is time for the Republicans to stop insulating the electorate from the consequences of their votes.

[SoFloFreeper]

Yes, folks, they’re really that stupid.

[FrankR]

[Berlin_Freeper]

‘The Best Stimulus There Is’ is letting people go hungry.

[History Repeats]

Just when I think this fool has said or done the most ignorant thing possible he proves me wrong by saying or doing something even more ignorant. WOW! Just effin WOW!

[RatRipper]

“Frank!!!!! I’m getting a sick headache!!!!!”

[Sacajaweau]

So it follows that we should all be unemployed and collecting a “government check”. Wow...what logic !!!
