Tax the unions and refund it to the overtaxed taxpayers.

Rich people can only buy so much stuff, Franken said, then they save their money.

This what you get, Minnesota, when you elect an idiot so-called comedian to the Senate. No matter what the topic, Al Franken can open his mouth and prove he's a moron.

Story makes no sense.

It says 14 million are unemployed, but we also know there are 44 million on food stamps.

"People use their unemployment. This will stimulate and help the economy.”

OK....reduxio ad absurdum....why don't all working people quit their jobs and immediately go on unemployment? Then, the economy would be really really stimulated.

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekin' unionistas!

Any conference that permits a. frankin to attend as anything other than a janitor is rediculous on it's face.

Who wants to bet me a dinner this Shonda voted for zero? “Hey Shonda, sounds like you were a union worker? If so, you should have lots of $$ saved up as we non-union workers payed for your pension, etc.!”

Guess you got the hope and change you asked for!

The best ways to increase demand, she said, is to invest in things that generate demand, like infrastructure aid to the states, education and long-term unemployment benefits.

Uhhh, no, that's not the way to do it. The best way to fuel the engine is to get the gov't out of the way by cutting taxes for everyone. If you put more take-home pay in a person's paycheck, and they believe that pay increase is permanent (not some idiotic, temporary, rebate), they will spend more. That increased consumer demand will result in more production and the need for more workers. Personally, if you can't find a job in 99 weeks, you're asking more than you're worth and you need to take a hard look at yourself and your skill set. Taking money from people and then have the gov't turn around and spend it says that the gov't knows how to spend my money better than I do. Bullsh%t!

As far as Franken's comment, Congress wrote those loopholes into the tax code. Why not ask them why they put them there. Al: Get off your thick-lipped ass and pass a tax and spending cut and just get out of the way. Give consumers the cash to buy what they want, not what you want so you can get reelected.

“We can create jobs if we want to. It’s a matter of political will.”

Wish harder. Beggars want rides.

This headline really sums up AFL/CIO thinking, including their understanding of how jobs are created. In response, what can be said except: *poof* here are more jobs - and for my next trick... ?

Some "gems of wisdom" are so ludicrous they need no further comment.

Hell yeah, just take all the $ that is being confiscated from public employee union members and put it back in the pockets of business owners. Is that what you had in mind, “Dick”?

I don't know what to say after reading this except that my intestines leaped out and tried to strangle me to make me stop.

They just say things and that's supposed to become true, let me try this; "we need to acknowledge that the Obama policies prevented us from building warp-engines, hurting women, the chillrin and Trekkies the most"
