Steny doesn’t know that Atlas Shrugges is a novel. He thinks it’s a blueprint.

“I havent talked to any who are of that mind,” said Hoyer. “If you talk to economists, they will tell you there are two things that are the most stimulative that you can do — ones unemployment insurance, the others food stamps, okay?
This completely overlooks the fact that in order to pay these you have to take the money OUT of the economy to begin with in the form of taxes! Sheesh!

The government should raise food stamps and unemployment benefits by 100% and give them to everyone.
THAT would assure prosperity for all.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that food stamps and unemployment insurance are the two "most stimulative" things you can do for the economy. And tell us,Mr Hoyer,what are "things" numbers three to ten on your list of stimulative things? Is "aiding in the creation of private sector jobs" on the list?
No,I didn't think so.

Hoyer: Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance 2 'Most Stimulative' Things for EconomyIn a Robust Economy, one filled with opportunity and growth...it wouldn't be very stimulating, it would be detrimental...but since we are in a Depression, and Hoyer verifies it with his statement.....the most stimulating thing 'they' can do in this environment is institute $bread$ lines. Keep those bellies full....

Dang. I have been so wrong. I thought working for an income, independent of the government, paying taxes, and being able to choose how to spend any (minimal) discretionary money, including which charities to fund... were the keys to improving the economy. I should look into this other lifestyle he’s promoting!

Marveling at Steny and Nancys double digit IQs. Any chance that either of those digits are greater than "two"?

then to hell with “creating jobs” and to hell with those rich people who bury their money in the back yard.
Put 300 million of us on food stamps and unemployment!
We’d be the world’s economic engine!
Eat your heart out, China!

Yep, an idiot. I received 74 weeks of “unemployment” at $275 a week (less FIT - take home $247) and I didn’t spend ONE DIME of that money. I saved it all (full disclosure - wife has very good job).
Guess I should reapply for my 25 more weeks and see if they’ll give me food stamps too!
