Almost 11 million people couldn’t find a job in November, and for those who don't earn a paycheck, unemployment benefits work for the economy, too, a leading Democrat says.
“Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (R-Calif.) said at a news conference on Thursday.
She spoke after Democrats held a hearing on the impending expiration of unemployment benefits—an “essential lifeline that millions of Americans and their families depend on,” Pelosi said. …

People this stupid in positions of responsibility really piss me off.
Did she learn everything she knows about economics from the Sunday funnies?
Sane people would not make statements like that. What a idiot. Does she even think before she opens her mouth?
Pelosi will say *anything* to defend Obama and his mess.
No, from her Communist father, a former mayor of Baltimore.
Crazy Ahole
Why doesn’t this craven idiot resign so she adds to the economy?
What more can Canservatives possibly need than the Rat's and RHINO's own words and deeds to run this entire detestable crowd out of The People's Capital?
Where is the Magnificent Bastard of the Tea Party?
“Sane people would not make statements like that. What a idiot. Does she even think before she opens her mouth?”
Calling Pelosi an idiot is an insult to idiots. I think she (and Reid) are crazy as $h!t house rats, and just as dangerous.
Pelosi is too stupid to be an idiot.
No human can be this stupid! She is driven by her agenda and her pocket, her investments and insider info. She wants to be part of the eternal elitist utopia at all cost, she and many like her are traitors
In her district, I'd say 10 to 1 as long as she keeps the 'D' behind her name.
As soon as we are all unemployed receiving unemployment, the ecomony will take off like a a rocket. Job creation will grow like kudzu. Soon everyone will be employed and the ecomony will tank again. Pelosi is brilliant.

You make a good point...: )
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.

Well, I guess she’s actually not fat.
Yes, the statement is idiotic and I even have to admit being surprised to hear her repeat this nonsense.
Miss Nancy never says anything off the top of her head though. It’s clear that the Democrats have decided that their only chance to rise above the Obamacare disaster is to double-down on the “Free-Government-Sh*t-Voter” program and push government dependency as hard as possible. Extending unemployment insurance will be their big line in the sand in the coming budget battles, and any Republican who resists this will be portrayed as heartless as well as opposed to “economic stimulation”.
This fits right in with the drive to drastically increase the minimum wage and swell Medicaid’s ranks. It’s all designed to create 30 second TV spots for gimmedats. “Tax cuts for billionaires blah blah blah...”
Nothing is more important than making sure there is a get-out-the-vote effort for the remaining productive citizens in 2014.
