Obviously, these liberal fools like Brother Jesse would rather see people get unemployment than jobs but it begs the question: just who gets unemployment now, aside from union members and government employees???

Shrug. Find a way to pay for it and be done with it. If it was me, I’d get rid of all Federal flood insurance and get the remaining UC aid by cutting peoples’ welfare checks.

“There are 10.7 million people unemployed in Bunning’s Kentucky.”

From my Rand-McNally Road Atlas 2008 edition (Large Scale) page 244 ...

Kentucky - Population 4,173,405

Jesse should be regarded as an expert on joblessness as I can not recall him holding a PAID position in a private business EVER....

Under the pressure, marriages are strained. Depression, anger, a sense of failure too often lead to drinking or worse. A constant search for jobs leads to repeated rejections.

Jesse been hanging out at the White Hut with POTUSColt45?

I have a novel idea. Why don’t all the unemployed use all that extra time they have and go picket Barack Hussein Obozo outside the Whitey House and ask him to quit his purposeful destruction of jobs?

nah, that might mean extricating one’s behind from the couch and actually doing something.

Pay for unemployment, and that’s what you’ll get.

Government subsidies retard the completely necessary process of capital reorganization.

What really gets me is that there are Republican (RINO) Senators that are trying to undermine him; anybody have a list if those idiots?

...employed this power of obstruction to block a 30-day extension of unemployment benefits...

It's to continue unemployment payments until December! This guy simply can not tell the truth from the get-go and he wonders why so many simply see him as a flim-flam man.

Fox News reporting just a few seconds ago that Bunning may have won and the Dems are going to go with some kind of compromise with him.

First we watched as Republicans systematically chose to filibuster every major vote, effectively ending majority rule by requiring 60 votes to get anything out of the Senate.

In fact, there has almost been no successful filibusters, and there have been multiple votes that were under 60.

The fact is that Reid continually abuses the normal process for major bills, so he has had to use cloture to get things to the floor of the senate. But those cloture votes virtually always succeed.

The only one they had trouble with was the Health care destruction bill, and that was because they had to pay off democrats to vote for it.

They had a deal for a 1-year “doc fix” last year, but Reid rejected it on behalf of the doctors lobby, who wanted a permanent fix. Reid also stripped it from his health care bill because it destroyed the fiction that the bill paid for itself.

The Democrats are the ones who put together a medicaid program that cut the doctor’s pay by 21%. They could have fixed this years ago, but it would make it obvious that the plan was going bankrupt.

Unemployment insurance and food stamps are the best jobs programs in any recovery plan; they have the biggest return on the dollar. The reason is simple: The unemployed spend every cent on their expenses, and use the food stamps to buy needed food.

A person who believes that taking money from one pocket, and putting it in another pocket, somehow makes it "more money". And who doesn't understand that spending a dollar is the LEAST effective way of using the dollar to build the economy, other than the stupid plans of the democrats that actually get LESS than a dollar's worth out of a dollar.

What we NEED to do is leverage the dollar to get more than a dollar's worth out of it. Buying someone food isn't going to help, and paying people to be unproductive isn't a good way to stimulate the economy.

the problem with what Bunning is doing is with the public perception rather than the reality. Rush is 100% right that they can take the money out of the stimulus bill. But this is handing the Dems a propaganda weapon at precisely the wrong time. (otherwise why would they not AGREE to take it out of the stimulus and move on?)
