Right. It’s immediately spent on rent/mortgage, food, clothing. I don’t think that anyone unemployed will rush out and buy that flat screen TV or a new car.

Who knew that paying people not to work created jobs!

Hey, someone has to do the paperwork to send the checks! For every dollar of "unemployment" at least half is creating a job for a government employed, union-dues paying, democrat contributuing bureaucrat.

If you combined the IQs of Pelosi and Boxer, it might add up to room temp.

a walk-in freezer?

I couldn't resist it.

By her logic if we all were unemployed we would soon have full employment.

Pray for America

As one of those Far Rightwing Extremist, trailer-trash, Clingers (according to Dear Leader, the Botox Queen of Mean and other Demo-Rats) who BTW has had more small busineses than Nancy has brain cells and just happens to have an MBA (and has--as do most Cons--the tendency to apply logic and common sense to most issues) I'm confoozed with her (and O'Bummer's) suggestion that "extending" Unemployment will create jobs?

Will not (basically) the same number of people on unemployment simply continue to be on extended unemployment?

Yes!

Will they be getting higher benefits, thus spending more?

No!

Thus as it appears to this poor, clueless, Conservative, dunce, everything will basically remain the same?

Thus how can this POSSIBLY create ANY additional jobs?

Of course, don't expect the Lame Stream Media to call her on this.

He turned down a $10hr job about 6 mos ago and about 30 days ago had to start looking in earnest

My wife's best friend lives with her daughter and the daughter's boyfriend. He can't find work and is sponging off of the daughter. They live within walking distance of a supermarket that is always advertising for workers but he said that doesn't pay enough to interest him. I'm sure that will continue as long as the daughter is stupid enough to keep supporting him.

So if the unemployment check is creating so many jobs then why hasn’t the person getting said check gotten one of them and instead needs an extension?

Well then, I volunteer to single handedly provide 1 million jobs by accepting the unemployment benefits that, by Pelosi’s math, would add those 1 million jobs.

Just send me the checks, I’ll do the rest. I promise.

Pelosi is an idiot. You make more money working then you do unemployed.

Pelosi did not name those “macroeconomic advisers.”

The voices in your head don't count as "macroeconomic advisers", Nancy.

Just how many signatures does it take to win a competency hearing?

Aren’t there provisions for committing/institutionalizing a raving lunatic before they harm themselves or someone else?

We should show compassion for this moonbeam and place her out of harm’s way...

Maybe if we can get everybody on unemployment, that will create 150,000,000 jobs, and we can then be at 100% employment!

Pelosi does not just think that Americans believe in Unicorns. She thinks they believe that she’s a Unicorn.

If she actually believes one word of this, then she along with Debbie Was-a-man Schultz are both mentally retarded. Really.

So if we create 600,000 jobs every time we have extended the benefit, we should have materially cut down the unemployment rate.

Perhaps we should shorten the time between extensions to month to month and then create 600,000 jobs every month while letting some folks remain on the public dole.
