Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs
Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. fox news
Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.
Talking to reporters, the House speaker was defending a jobless benefits extension against those who say it gives recipients little incentive to work. By her reasoning, those checks are helping give somebody a job.
"It injects demand into the economy," Pelosi said, arguing that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."
Pelosi said the aid has the "double benefit" of helping those who lost their jobs and acting as a "job creator" on the side.
"It's impossible to think of a situation where we would have a country that would say we're not going to have unemployment benefits," Pelosi said.

By her dysfunctional logic the government should give all of us money and then there would be full employment and utopia or at least until the Chinese quit lending us money and the printing presses break.
She takes stupid to a new low.
I don’t know which statement is dumber, hers or Biden’s, when he said we had to borrow our way out of debt.
Bunch of idiots running the asylum!
And as a follow up, my daughter-in-law is brushing up her resume. Why? Because the unemployment ran out. Now she has to look for a job. With unemployment money coming in she had a GREAT vacation.
Reality is a *itch for Democrats.
It shouldn’t surprise me at all...but it does. Dems say these kinds of flaccid, illogical things all the time. I keep wondering what insane, half-assed idea Obambi and his stooges are gonna come up with next.
OMFG....shaking head.
“Insane”
If giving checks to the unemployed saves jobs, why not give checks to both the unemployed and the employed? Now that would REALLY create jobs.!!!!!!
Those checks create a moral hazard, it helps postpone people’s job search; starvation is a better encouragement.
“This creature should be committed to an asylum.”

I have said on a number of occasions online and in conversations with people I know that back in the mists of time when I was young people like Nancy Pelosi didn’t run around loose, let alone become speaker of the house. She literally belongs in an institution.
Unemployment could be ended immediately with the creation of about 5-600 new unemployeds: Congressional Democrats, the Senate Democrats, and Barack the Kenyan and all his appointees!.
It has’t worked yet -— Nancy you asshat
I’ve seen cock roaches more intelligent than this woman.
At what printing press? She IS insane.
That’s what I was thinking ... why discriminate against the employed?
She also thinks Jesus approves of partial birth abortions. She`s bat shit nuts.
Let’s take her at her word. If Pelosi truly believed this, then she would support spending the remainder of the so-called ‘stimulus’ funds on extending unemployment benefits. According to her, we get the most bang for the buck through unemployment benefits. But Pelosi is vehemently opposed to spending stimulus dollars on an extension of unemployment benefits. Thus, Pelosi is a liar.
