It does. For the bureaucrats who administer it.
And, in their own enlightened self-interest, they wouldn't want unemployment to go down, because that might mean they'd lose their own job. Such is the "big lie" of bureaucracy - they don't want to solve the problem they're working on. In fact, they get more job security if the problem gets worse.

Of course - it all comes from the Great Unicorn.
We need to give Obama a taste of unemployment. Let him see how it feels to lose his job.
Let’s break some windows and get the glass boys economically stimulated!
Actually, he will be proven right, right after he is unemployed as president.
Well, there is always the opportunity to put everyone on welfare. That'll grow the Kenyanesian Economy fur sure.
GREAT ASININE POLITICAL QUOTESUnemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs.

Sure unemployment creates jobs... jobs for government workers that are needed to run the support system the the Naked Emperor wants to set up to make permanent joblessness just another lifestyle choice...
When up is down and right is left it all makes sense.
Perpetual Motion doesn't work.....

“unemployment creates millions of jobs”
So, it's very simple to fix the economic crisis: put everyone out of work and on unemployment. Voila - MILLIONS of jobs!
Carney has the intellect of yogurt that expired 6 weeks ago...
Normal job process. Employer needs help in providing a service or product that is sold to produce money to pay the employee. Self sustaining process.
Obama job Process. Obama needs help in staying in office so he pays citizens to vote for him. To produce the money to pay for them he taxes other citizens.
Obama is right in the fact that people who rely on government handouts will not save money because they believe their source is endless. They in turn will spend all their money on stuff creating some jobs in the local area.
How much do these jobs cost the tax payer? Work is not being done by the recipient. Nothing of value is produced to be sold.
Why does this machine come to mind?
Actually, all unemployment payments do is prevent some jobs from disappearing. The guy who just lost his job is able to keep on spending, though probably at a lower rate than he was spending when he had a decent income from his job. This keeps people employed to serve his reduced needs, but not necessarily all the people who served his needs earlier. For instance, he might not take the fishing trip he would have taken when employed.
Furthermore, it’s been proven that paying people not to work keeps them from taking a new job. So, logically, unemployment payments reduce jobs directly, as well as modestly reduce jobs indirectly because of the recipient having reduced income to spend.
Carney is the one who needs to take an entrance exam for his job, not the WSJ reporter.
Yes so many jobs in fact that with 8 years experience and a double major in management and finance, a fellow like me has been out of work for 8 months.
Patronizing bastard!
White House Thinks Unemployment Creates Jobs
So by admission, using the perverted logic of these liberals, the Obamanation’s goal must be 100% unemployment. Makes perfect sense to me.
