I don’t either. Maybe the Unemployment office is going to have to cut some staff ...

The White House idiots (socialists all) still believe that one can stand in a bucket, grab the handles, and lift the bucket.
Such is the stupidity of a progressive mind.

They need that many people to administer unemployment benefits?

I guess it takes a lot of people to keep people unemployed. Government workers, state unemployment offices?

More arm twisting. This is a monumental game of chicken that government plays on its citizens. Unemployment extension vs. tax cuts for all. It’s that simple. Won’t get one without the other. Only problem is the WH has a bigger mouthpiece and a kneepad-clad media.

They are trying to paint the narrative in advance that the Republicans are going to be responsible for the future job losses if they don’t continue the unemployment benefits.
Republicans need to NOT fall for this, and put forth the proposal to cut the National Endowment of the Arts and/or NPR to pay for the temporary extension (swapping permanent programs cuts to temporary increases is ALWAYS a WIN!)
Rush needs to propose this on the air!

I say extending jobless aid will cost 8 million jobs.
(see how easy that is to do)
To: Phlap
Amazing,, we are truly through the looking glass. Sending out an unemployment check, is now seen as “creating employment”.

What, extended benefits somehow keeps those trying to help the unemployed, employed?
This is not right.

No problem. According to the media, all obama has to do is fart and he creates a billion jobs. As long as Chris Matthews has a mouth, obama never has to ....

Even though I was screwed up with new math while attending public grade schools, this is beyond me, unless we are talking about the federal employees who hand out the checks.

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

This is like the stories in 2007 that, as the war ends in Iraq the cemetary workers and grave diggers are the hardest hit.
