An immutable law of economics:
You get more of what you pay for.
If you pay people to be unemployed, you get more unemployed people.
Duh.
Libs always turn economics on it’s head in order to justify more government spending and control over your life.
Right, and paying off one credit card with another one will eventually get you out of debt.
this is such b.s. if this were true, over the last four years with unemployment rising and benefits rising, and continuning......the job market is still tanking....where do they get this idiotic thinking from???
Brought to you by the non-partisan CBO...
Would doubling benefits create 600 thousand jobs?
Would doubling benefits create 600 thousand jobs?
“boosting demand for goods and services and creating new jobs.”
So if everyone applies for and gets unemployment, that will create more jobs. We’ll have full employment and the economy will roar.
After reading this garbage, I’m convinced more than ever that we need to either float these leftists to North Korea or bury them in mounds as ant food.
We live in very depressing times. Anyone with common sense should know this is not possible. Sadly, there is a serious lack of common sense.
I have always been for unemployment benefits. Even extended during long downtimes.
However, to say they ‘create’ or even ‘save’ jobs is nuts.
Each putative job is estimated to cost taxpayers $100,000. Seems as if there’s a lot of wild ass guessing going on.
(In best Ernest Hollings’ voice:) There’s too much Waggin’ goin’ on out dere.
We can’t pay for unemployment based on the unemployment tax we already have. If unemployment is such a problem, let’s raise the unemployment tax. I’m tired of all this hidden taxing and spending. You want to pay unemployment for forever? Then take it out of the workers paychecks with the unemployment tax. You’ll find out real fast how liberal those Democrats are when their paychecks take a cut.
this is bull crap, they know its bull crap and they know that we know that they know its bull crap. They act really stupid in hopes they don’t get their heads handed to them when the SHTF, and it will and they will.
There are producers and there are users. Politicians are users, and have never understand producers. With their logic, we can destroy producers to make more users to infinity.
Or in other words, the way to riches is to burn our cash in a trash barrel, because the trash company will hire a new guy to haul ashes.
Bearing in mind, of course, that Congress hasn't produced a budget in three years?!!!!
Hurricane Sandy was great for construction jobs. And if it doesn’t rain in the midwest, all commercial traffic on the Mississippi will be halted. That would be great for the trucking industry. /s
300,000 jobs? That is all? Not worth it. Obamugabe and his court jester Biden said we’d be creating 500,000 jobs A MONTH by now.
300,000 “jobs” in a year for extending unemployment benefits isn’t a deal.
Shove it, Obmaugabe...unless of course you’re willing to CUT entitlements (not defense) at the same time.
Let’s start with food stamps. And Obamaphones.
Ponzi scheme!
If we could just get 100,000,000 people on unemployment (not so far fetched with the Food Stamp President in office), the economy would really take off. CBO would have to work overtime to calculate the billions of jobs that would be created and trillions of dollars generated in goods and services to sustain them. Maybe we should fire those geniuses at CBO so that they have to get a real job. With their expert level of economics, they should easily transition to high level positions in private industry.
