This evening, speaking at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that folks getting and spending unemployment checks is a healthy thing . . . because it stimulates the economy: "Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community," Jarrett said. "And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it's good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that's healthy as well."

PLEASE GOP (whoever is the nominee), use statements like this in the campaign. Normal people will see this as what it is: doubletalk to explain away persistent, unacceptably high unemployment.
They already are there....Glenn Beck played clips of the press touting how good for the environment $5 gal gas was...yesterday!
Unemployment. Its a good thing! /s
If we go out and break every single window in every public building, just think how prosperous life would be for those who repair windows, manufacture glass, transport the glass, sell glass, etc.
Life would be great! Only idiots like us conservatives seem unable to grasp that concept.
Is this one of those satires I usually fall for?
Hell, checks for everyone! We’ll have unemployment down to 0 percent by Nov! woohoo! Vote Obama! /sarc
Isn’t it amazing how over 50% of America will be utterly stunned when the country goes bankrupt and there’s anarchy in the streets? ‘How did this happen’, they’ll ask. Democrats will say the dastardly republicans did it and there will be civil war.
Reminds me of the old joke about the four engine airliner. The pilot comes on the speaker and announces they just lost engine #3 and would therefore be arriving 15 minutes later than planned.
Ten minutes later the pilot comes on the speaker again and announces that they just lost engine #2 and would be arriving 45 minutes later than planned.
15 minutes later the pilot comes on the speaker and announces that engine #1 was lost and they would now be arriving 1 1/2 hours later than planned.
The business traveler in seat 5A leans across the aisle and says to his traveling companion: "Dang, if we lose the 4th engine, we'll be so late, we'll miss the meeting."
zer0 must be quite proud of cancelling the economic de-stimulative Keystone project. By Cancelling it, he was SAVING the economy - all the 20,000+ folks that would have been employed are now helping us all by being unemployed, and spending their unemployment checks, and stimulating the economy! Yayyyy!
Let’s STIMULATE THE ECONOMY by sending O-Jackass and the twits working for him to the UNEMPLOYMENT LINE!
“These people are completely bat-shit crazy.”
Laz, you said it all!
But wait, didn't he try to blame Republicans for cancelling Keystone? Doesn't this mean he shoud be crediting the Republicans for a great economy?
The mind loops and knots.
That is the intent of the Big Lie technique.
Question: Where does the money come from to fund those unemployment checks? Just asking....
“We are part of the one percent who like to work.”
I’m sorry for your wife’s job loss but isn’t it great to be part of the 1%?
WH Senior Advisor: Obummer Being Unemployed Will Stimulate the Economy
Laz,
They are far from crazy. Libs are willing to tell any lie, break any law, destroy any people to stay in power
The fools/crazies are the ones who believe them!
Be well
How do you deal with such utter stupidity??
Especially when such stupidity isn’t reported, or ridiculed by the media, but in fact, CHEERED by that same media?
