My question as someone who is unemployed is why do Republicans suddenly worry about “off-setting” when they never did under Bush?

They passed TARP with no demand for off-setting.

Aid to Haiti earlier this year with no demand for off-setting.

And on and on.......

It simply looks bad, and I say this as a Republican.

The democrats want high unemployment because it leads to dependency on government which in turn leads to control.

It was a sad day when the people of California by-passed Tom Mclintock for governor in favor of Hollywood muscleman Arnold “The Terminator” Schwarzennager.

...still waiting, . . .for what?

Where was all the fuss about the internationalista banksters who stole all the bread from the truck?

And why all the energy now to bicker over crumbs?

Time to start eliminating bloated federal agencies that regulate business out of the country and produce nothing but debt.

I liken it taking water out of one end of a swimming pool then dumping it in the other end and expecting the water level to rise.

Speaker Pelosi has said that the most important thing we could do to create jobs is to extend unemployment benefits to 99 weeks, because the unemployed would spend this money and stimulate the economy.

Dead wrong. Nothing stimulates the economy like creating wealth. MS Pelosi obviously thinks the economy is stimulated by stealing wealth.

It's been a sadder seven years living with the Austrian Trojan Horse.

It’s a good thing Republicans were standing up to Bush in 2003 for extensions. Oh wait, they passed them fine post 9/11.

And it’s a good thing they were such spending averse the whole time they were in total control. Oh....

Give all the bread to the bankers and wall street. The crumbs are now just too much to part with.

This hysteria over $34b is the stupidest thing I’ve seen politicians do for awhile. The GOP needs to get OFF this bandwagon quick becaus look like, and are, such hypocrites on this subject at this point.

I'm uncomfortable with an apparent attempt to turn FR into Facebook.

Please direct your press releases to a wire service, drop the title, join us as Tom and contribute to advancing conservatism at the grass roots.

I agree. This whole communist takeover was made possible by anti-American RINO policies. My comments below from April are pretty much the same as they have been for the past decade. RINOs have been Stuck-on-Stupid for much longer than that.

Economic Collapse is a Direct Result of the Quest for Free and Cheap Labor
Thursday, April 29, 2010 at 12:24am

The collapse of our economy is a direct result of the quest for free and cheap labor at every level of the payscales. The various bubbles (tech, real estate, interest, and derivitaves bubbles) were attempts to avoid the collapse, and to continue to suck the residual wealth from citizens.

The anti-American Open Borders movement and the massive work visa frauds were intended to prop up the various bubbles long enough for the elitist quislings to maximize their theft of residual wealth from American citizens.

You cannot maintain an economy that is 70% driven by consumer spending, while simultaneously waging economic warfare against those consumers, as the Democrats and RINOs have done for the past two decades or more.

The USA is still importing 140,000 visa workers per month to displace American citizens from their jobs. 5,000 illegal invaders per day (200,000 per month) are still crossing our southern border to displace American citizens from their jobs.

More than 20 million American citizens are currently unemployed and underemployed. New college and high school graduates are unable to get jobs, primarily because more than 40 million foreign workers and illegal invaders are in the USA working under either fraudulent work visas or as illegal employees.

We can put these American citizens back to work by securing the borders against illegal invasion, suspending work visa programs, cutting taxes, cutting our bloated governments at every level, reviving American manufacturing and other production, and drilling and mining for our own energy resources.

To accomplish the above, we all need to recognize and repudiate anti-American politicians, whether from the communist Democrat side or from the gutless, nutless RINO camp. This 2010 primary season, it is imperative to replace RINOs with solid pro-American constitutional conservatives.

This November, it is imperative to vote against the communist Democrats and send them into retirement in record numbers. We must have the numbers in the House and Senate to defund and stop this communist destruction of the USA.

It's not rocket science: Close the damn border, and suspend ALL visa work programs immediately.

Anticipating the globalist Free Traitor response ...

"Waaaaa, if we close the borders and suspend ALL work visas, then all our companies will just move overseas." Yada, yada, yada ...

So, let them. And then tariff everything they import back to the USA 100% for the next 40 or 100 years.

"But waaaaaa, Smoot-Hawley, yada, yada, yada ..."

Smoot-Hawley went into effect AFTER the globalists (of that day) had collapsed the economy.

"But waaaaaa, foreign-owned temp service companies supply 437% of slave labor used by companies within the USA, yada, yada, yada ..."

So, tax them at a gazillion percent and drive them back to the mud-hut third world cesspools where they belong.

On the serious side, if you want to one piece of legislation that would put Americans back to work in record time:

Submit a bill that would allow American companies to contract directly with American workers, without any threats from the IRS against either the contract workers or against the companies.

This would effectively and immediately eliminate the blood-sucking temp agencies and recruiting firms that have been leeching one third to three forths of income produced by the actual working people in our economy.
