Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Dreamworld, CA), the first woman ever to serve as Speaker of the House made another breakthrough today, with a discovery that has eluded humanity since Adam--how to create jobs
Unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs.(snip)
Or as she carefully phrased it in her press release castigating Republicans after the House passed an extension of unemployment benefits
"These benefits help struggling families make ends meet, boost consumer demand to spur hiring by small businesses, and strengthen our economy as a whole."
Oh. But Nancy, businesses small and large are the ones taxed to subsidize these unemployment benefits, reducing their funds to actually hire people. Private businesses using their money spurs hiring; employed people have an easier time making ends meet than those living off of unemployment benefits. At least in the real world that is how things work.

Should have just skipped that stimulus bill and let us all just collect endless unemployment checks. Imagine what this economy would look like now. Pelosi economic theory would go over well. In Greece.
I have every sympathy for the unemployed, espescially now, when this administration has no idea how to help private industry.
My question simply is how long can we sustain unemployment checks.?
What happens when this extension runs out? Do we extend it again using the same reasoning?
Pelosi is so stupid I don’t understand how she finds her way to the Capitol everyday. Actually as an American I am deeply embarrassed that morons like Pelosi, Reid, Obama & Biden are in charge of this once great land. If I hear one more Democratic pol say “you will find out what’s in this bill after it passes” I think my head will explode!. That is the most asinine statement ever uttered by a politician, and should be immediate disqualification for public office.

Speaker Pelosi. “Good afternoon. We just had a very instructive meeting with some leading economists about the number one subject on the minds of the American people: jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.
...I am going to introduce our experts that were here.
...They are going to tell you some of their forecasts that they told us about some of the options that we may have in investments in tax policy, in budgetary overdue, on how we can create jobs in the most fiscally sound way.”

What’s new? How about that expert advice? What is it? How does it work?

Speaker Pelosi. ...”I was very pleased that for the entire session of nearly four hours we were joined by our committee chairs, committees of jurisdiction that were appropriate, as well as our full House Democratic leadership.”
You can pretty much count on Paul Krugman’s drivel being about the only “expert advice” that those ‘Rat yo-yo’s ever pay attention to.
One more, their ‘expert’ gets it right;

Former Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Alan Blinder “So for that reason, despite the fact that we’re looking at an absolutely horrendous long-term fiscal outlook,”

Gee, wonder who learned anything at the House Economic Forum, 10/21/2009?
With Pelosi smarts is not an option she has done so much for California no wonder it’s in the tank and for sale.
I didn’t see him on the guest list(not that it matters);

Speaker Pelosi. “I am pleased that we had the benefit of the thinking of Dr. Mark Zandi, Dr. Alan Blinder, Bob Kuttner, Heather Boushey, Bill Hambrecht, and Allen Sinai.”

[”we had the benefit of the thinking of”; as if tax and spend Democrats would do something different...]
By Her reasoning the way to create jobs is to fire everyone!
I believe I have finally figured out what the BLEEP Nancy is trying to say. She is not ‘stimulating’ jobs, she is ‘simulating’ jobs.
