He continues to validate my tagline.
Since unemployment benefits are so good for the economy, I suggest that we all get fired from our jobs (if we have one) get unemployment benefits and stimulate the economy.
We could become an even richer country than we are now!
I must be stupid, so help me figure this out!
Is he so stupid he really believes this, or does he think we are so stupid we will believe it?
Good, let’s make everyone unemployed! The economy will grow like crazy!
How do you even reason with someone this completely clueless?
Scenario A) Unemployed person gets a check, goes to the store and buys food, a magazine and some socks. Does this "grow" the economy? Not a chance. It sustains some existing businesses, at best.
Scenario B) Millionaires keep the money they have worked for. They invest in their own business or in the businesses of others. Factories are built, distribution channels are expanded, exports increase, workforces expand. Does this "grow" the economy? You bet.
The idea that unemployment checks stimulate the economy is something that stupid people say.
Watch him to start chanting that we will have to pass the tax bill, so we can see what's in it.
Boost ? More like Life Support.
Exactly what are people buying with UE to stimulate the economy? I don’t see that it pays more than rent/mortgage and food (if that). He’s as much of an idiot as pelosi.
How could it be a “BOOST” to the economy when it only applies to extensions? It would, at best, be the status quo much like the so called “tax cuts.”
Yep, unemployment compensation and payroll (FICA) tax cuts to many who pay no income taxes, all for putting borrowed ‘money in peoples(voters) pockets’ to spend has worked so well before in creating jobs.
Remember this Fred Thompson classic video from late 2008 with his Peter Schiff moment?
Whew. 2 more years of this guy. Stocking up supplies on my sailboat. I doubt the country will make it.
God help us. We’re ruled by idiots with advanced degrees.
Quite a coup claiming that the biggest boost to the economy that he can produce is added time on the unemployment checks for out-of-work Amercians, regardless of whether someone on UI for 2 or three years doesn’t have a deeper problem....utterly telling if you ask me. There is no recovery, there is no easing of difficulty - only the need for more largesse to UI recipients, claiming it’s a boost for our economy.....it’s like this money came from out of the blue and wasn’t taken from the rest of us working stiffs.
As I've stated in several other threads, I also think that along with ditching a government-run unemployment benefit program, the minimum wage is ought to be abolished. It's a real business killer.
Yeah. And sticking your head in a garbage disposal and turning it on will get rid of your cold. Can these people really be that stupid?
Jobs are even better.....you idiot
If I'd have known going to Harvard was that easy, I'd have done it a long time ago.
