Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee (D., Texas) took to the House floor on Thursday to call for a vote on legislation that would, she said, give unemployment benefits to people with jobs.
Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women, Jackson-Lee pleaded.
So we cant be only about our self in this holiday season, particularly as we recognize that the Pope being made man of the year has spoken to the world eloquently about this whole issue of the vulnerable. And so I ask this, Mr. Woodall, and the Rules Committee, lets put the Van Hollen-Lee-Levin amendment on the floor tonight, tomorrow. Call us back, Mr. Boehner, call us back, Mr. Boehner. Let us vote to provide for unemployment insurance for working men and women so that faces across America will not the tear of desperation on their face. The deal is good, but the people are suffering. We cannot allow this to happen this season of joy and giving.

The stupid; it stings
Yes it does. By subsidizing low wage jobs, it will become more difficult to leave those jobs and reduce the incentive to pay better.
Gotta buy dem votes.
Someday the gravy train will end, but by then our souls will have been completely sold to the “Company Store”.

Jackson-Lee doesn’t double down on stupid...she triples down.
Sheila Jackson Lee, (D-Houston Ghetto)
No way this nitwit represents any legitimate part of TX. The legacy of Katrina/Nagin’s “Chocolate City” continues to damage the nation.
This is going to spin out of control sooner than later. The stupid not only burns, sooner of later it will knock at your door and confiscate everything you own out of “fairness”. We all know where this is headed.
We are the Weimar Republic.
And I am clueless on how to stop the storm ahead...
Over and over she keeps confirming to people just how stupid she really is with statements like this.
Her best bet is to keep her mouth shut - oh never mind as her words are priceless and provide us with jokes that all original.
Shelia Jackson-Lee... I KNEW IT! All the intelligence of an insane Wookie!
Bump
".....we're doomed,it eats and breeds"
But hey, they been workin’ as hard as she works, y’know?
Buy more ammo.
“The legislation will not, in fact, provide any benefits to people that have jobs.”
What, then? Another form of O-Care/tax in case you lose your job to one of the Amish or Uranians?
Love the animal house reference, but SJL is still one of the stupidest people to breathe my air.
It was Sheila Jackson-Lee who, in 2005, asked a Jet Propulsion Laboratory person whether the Pathfinder rover on Mars had taken a photograph of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969.
The only people who have demonstrated a flatter EEG line than Sheila are the Houston idiots who keep voting her into office.
understand that history does repeat itself
outwit the takers
don’t have so many goodies to confiscate
Knew it was going to turn out to be Sheila Jackson-Lee. Thanks Libloather.
Sadly that thought has become mantra.....
