By increasing benefits for the unemployed, Obama will increase the number of people who stay unemployed.
I don't know how long we will be able to sail along printing money, or borrowing it from future generations, but the end has got to be near. I figure that's the only thing that will stop Obama and his minions.
That’s it! I’m going to retire, then take unemployment to collect the difference between retirement pay and my present pay.
The longer, and more you provide for people who aren’t working, the longer it’s going to take for them to find work.
Makes perfect sense to me!
Another reason not to find new work. It's rather insidious how Zero and his minions are going about this. They're using this downturn as a back door to socialism in ways no one would imagine in better economic times. As I've stated in prior posts, once a government program is expanded it becomes next to politically impossible to get rid of due to the built in constituency it develops. Zero knows this all to well. This notion of a “two year program” is first degree BS.
Your, but see, you live in the REAL world of reality. Politicans who live in the clouds think if you give people $$ it will stimulate them to work.
Paying people to stay home. Exactly what brought down the auto companies. He wants to bring that success to all of America.
God help us.
THEREBY ENSURING A ROCK-SOLID VOTING BLOC!!!!!!!
And what about the civilian defence force funded at Pentagon levels....?
The employers only pay half and the state pays the other half. The employer can give a months vacation, or so,and only have to pay for two weeks of it.
The employee doesn't get as much money but they like the extended vacation, and they aren't even required to look for work.
In Michigan they don't even have to go to an unemployment office. Just call an automated phone line and the checks come in the mail!
Oh, perfect! Instead of working to increase the number of jobs available via tax cuts on business and personal income, let’s give away some more of my money to make it easier not to work. When are you going to take an Econ 101 course, you airhead...?

Someone should find out which company makes ink for the govt. printing presses that print the money. I think their stock is about to shoot up.
Democrats are wary of slowing down the economic stimulus by provoking the opposition of Republicans, who have warned in recent days that the package must be neither excessive nor rushed. They are also fielding concerns from fiscally conservative Democrats.
This just goes to show you that we have no representation.

How about some of these crooks just saying NO to all of this crap? How about telling them NO! If you want more cash for something you must close the door on any and all other hand outs needed to fund your next insane plan. Then after getting that message passed we would have to keep eliminating hand out after hand out until the private sector took care of just about everything. Then all the criminal mobsters would not have our money to tell us what we should do with it.
We need to scream this to all of these jerks until they get it and hopefully before its too late.
I got out of the Navy years ago and was eligible for unemployment. Back then, you at least had to go through the motions of looking for a job in order to collect. I decided I was too lazy to leech off the taxpayers so I leeched off mom and dad for a couple of months until school started..
I’m thinking I should just take all my money and the deed to my house and give it to the next bum I find passed out on the street. It will save Obama the trouble of having to be the middle man on the transaction.
