Why don’t they just cut the BS and call it welfare. No one gets unemployment for three years.

In some highly depressed areas, unemployment may be the only thing keeping their economy somewhat afloat, that and social security.

Oh now I get it! I have to remember all the “New Math” I was taught.

2 - 1 = 3

Now I understand this post.

No problem. According to the media, all obama has to do is fart and he creates a billion jobs.

That's because he farts rainbows and skittles...

I hope they wiped the brown stuff off of those numbers before they handed them out.

“It’s convoluted BS....The big top is collapsing...Wait till millions of these people start getting really hungry and still no jobs available....They know what will happen...”

They will blame Republicans and the media will back their play.

No they won’t. Talk to some of them, and you’ll see they are completely clueless. The useful idiots. They know but what ABC, CBS, and CNN tell them. That’s it. Nothing else. Everything is the “Republicans” fault. The Republicans are in control (They don’t even know WHO controls the Congress). They say they are willing to pay more taxes but do everything they can to find exemptions for themselves. They honestly, honestly, believe the US is evil and NEEDS to fall; believing somehow their lives will be unaffected. That is the enemy we are facing: our clueless fellow Americans.

There is no data regarding this assertion. I can;t find anything that justifies this statement. I went to the web site and there is nothing there:

Back in the thirty's when this happened the population was more disciplined. Not so now. Rioting is on the horizon and sadly I believe that is what the Communistas in power really want.

So now they are treating people on unemployment as having “jobs”?

Well sure....Biggov sends out millions of these tiny checks to people, and those people spend those tiny checks...So sure, people spending the money like pay checks and giving the money to other employers....Cut all that out, and the employers/businesses eat it too....

This is a death spiral...

Why do we need to extend unemployment after that fabulous recovery summer?

It’s The Onion!

ooops

No, it’s not satire....

It’s the democrat canard that uemployment benefits are stimulative because they create revenue and jobs
Why don’t we just put half the US workforce on permanent unemployment and solve all our problems permanently?

I was working on equipment at an unemployment office when Carter got elected. All of the employees were so happy and saying unemployment would be over. As I was getting ready to leave, I commented that that would mean there would be no need for Unemployment Offices, which would mean they would get laid off, and there would be no Unemployment Offices for them to file their claim. What would they do??? They looked like the two guys in the photo.

Good One!

The democrats also believe you can dip water out of the deep end of the pool, pour it into the shallow end of the pool, and fill up the pool

No, no, no....

Pelosi explained it yesterday. Without those $$$$ flowing into the economy ...more job cuts are needed.

“This is something that is not only good for these families; it’s the right thing to do in a downturn in our economy. But it’s also the right thing to do to grow our economy. Economists tell us that unemployment insurance — the non-partisan Urban Institute estimated that unemployment insurance returns $2 to the economy for every $1 spent. This is money that is needed by families to buy necessities, to heat their homes as Edrie said, and immediately injects demand into the economy — creating jobs. http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20101201/pl_usnw/DC10565_1
