The Democrats get to make things up as they go along. The “news media” would never criticize them.

House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that food stamps and unemployment insurance are the two "most stimulative" t things you can do for the economy.

The only word I can think of is, "delusional."

Steny, let me help you here (if it's not a psychiatrist you need). Steny, the economy is not a zero sum game. There is not just a one sized pie. When, for example, someone invents something like a product or service, the economy grows. That's how the pie grows, and that's how individual wealth grows. And here's another tid bit for you Steny, that's how the tax base, and hence revenues to the government grows.

Steny, that little economic lesson cost fifty bucks. You can easily find out where to send it.

Marveling at Steny and Nancy’s double digit IQ’s.

Well, that's only if 80 (borderline retarded) were something to marvel about.

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!

It also overlooks the fact that what really drives the economy is the creation of value.

It is really disheartening to think we are a nation led by 537 idiots just like this.

If more government spending was an answer, there wouldn’t be a question to begin with.

I think any Democrat in Congress who believes this should be paid in food stamps instead of salary. Wouldn’t you love to see Hoyer standing in line with a roll of food stamps to pay for his potato chips?

Where is the Republican ad using this:

“Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance 2 ‘Most Stimulative’ Things for Economy” - Come dream with us! Come build with us!

(Paid for by the Re-elect President Obama campaign and the American tax-payer!)

On a serious note, I told my wife that we should get a divorce and I’d get MORE “free” stuff.
