WH Senior Advisor: Unemployment Stimulates the Economy

Fox News ^ | Insanity in the form of Valerie Jarrett

[Lazamataz]

This evening, speaking at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that folks getting and spending unemployment checks is a healthy thing . . . because it stimulates the economy: "Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community," Jarrett said. "And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it's good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that's healthy as well."

[Lazamataz]

These people are competely bat-shit crazy.

[CAluvdubya]

What....an....idiot!!

[Da Coyote]

“These people are competely bat-shit crazy.”

Succinct and true.

No more needs to be said.

[Irenic]

Jarrett said. “And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net.
*****************
I see Jarrett and Romney are in agreement....

[BigDaddyTX]

So Val says that having black people on unemployment is good for the economy. Blind followers! Every frickin’ Obama 12 sticker I see just amazes me.

[Erik Latranyi]

[saganite]

Marxist idiot.

[RightOnline]

Well just s**t fire and save matches......ol’ Val has hit upon the cure for all of our country’s economic woes.

Why, all we need to do is send every dime we earn to the Feds and let them redistribute the money as they see fit...of course, heavily favoring blacks. See, then the economy will get a HUGE stimulus!

{slapping forehead]....now why didn’t I think of that?????

[Lazamataz]

I mean, we have a very target-rich environment during the coming election. By target-rich, I mean, the amount of crazy statements coming out of the mouths of this Administration, will make for a plethora of great campaign ads.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.

This guy beat you to the idea.

[mandaladon]

Is this some kind of a joke?

[G Larry]

Lies and ignorance stimulate liberals.

[ZX12R]

Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.

No kidding! Can it get any more stoopid?

[org.whodat]

First idiot I ever heard of that flunked econ 101.

[Lazamataz]

Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.

I will go Valerie one better.

I think, if we use 10% of those unemployed to actively tear down and destroy infrastructure -- kind of simulating 110% unemployment, there -- we will have even BETTER and LARGER recovery.

[laweeks]

So, using this idiot's logic, if we were ALL out of work and on welfare, the economy would be BOOMING!

[Lazamataz]

Is this some kind of a joke?

Go to the source. She said it. She meant it.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yes, unemployment is good for you.

Obama did not cancel the Keystone pipeline.

We are at war with Eastasia and have always been at war with Eastasia.

Am I living in a novel?

[svcw]

Are these people really that stupid?
I read awhile back that Carter considered himself of average inelegance and detested being around people who were more intelligent than he viewed himself, so all of his advisers, czars, appointments, whatever, he made sure they were less than him, so he could feel superior.
I would say that is BHO issue as well.

[andy58-in-nh]

Very soon, you will be hearing that $5 a gallon gas is good for the economy, too.

[rod1]

Good grief. Obamalogic.

[Lazamataz]

Obama is starting to embrace the Big Lie technique. Say shit that is so incredibly untrue, your mind reels.

[muawiyah]

No doubt Valerie would begin thinking clearly if she lost her mind!

[Lazamataz]

George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four refers to the Big Lie theory on several occasions. For example:

"The key-word here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts."[6]

Definition of doublethink: "To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed...."[7]

[traditional1]

"particularly in the black community"

The "Black Community" (aka, "Holder's People") have been on the public dole for 4 generations....they have NEVER sought education or meaningful LEGAL employment en masse, and will never leave The Plantation, as long as they're allowed free feeding at the public trough. 75% are born without fathers in the picture, and NO ONE will FORCE paternity identification to make them pay the costs of the child...NO ONE will force them to take drug tests to qualify for ANY public assistance, EBT's, food stamps, voter ID, etc. This is bullshit of the first magnitude, in what Jarrett (a pure racist who would NEVER be employed if she weren't black, except possibly by a pimp or as a custodian).

[headsonpikes]

“Am I living in a novel?”

Do the clocks strike 13 in your town?

[headstamp 2]

Excellent campaign ad material.

[Lazamataz]

I seriously believe this crew is now engaged in the Big Lie technique.

Richard Belzer defines The Big Lie, in his book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe, this way: "If you tell a lie that's big enough, and you tell it often enough, people will believe you are telling the truth, even when what you are saying is total crap."

[muawiyah]

He wouldn’t know.

[shelterguy]

“”People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that’s healthy as well””

As a business owner who has to PAY the unemployment, I don’t feel all that stimulated.

umm huh, sorta like abortions promote life?

[GeronL]

Yes, leftists are crazy. They always were.

No. It's called a "nightmare".

Just think of how things have changed in only 5 years. Back then, 5% unemployment was inexcusable. Homeless people were everywhere. And gasoline at $2.50 a gallon was solid proof that the Republicans had conspired with 'Big Oil' companies to rip the American people off.

Now, 9% unemployment is good for the economy, the homeless have all disappeared (I guess --- I never see stories about them anymore) and $5 gas would be a very good thing.

[mardi59]

Well, the best we can all do is to make sure this moonbat and her league of morons become unemployed in 2013. She will find out her theory is as big a flop as her boss.

She got her talking points and the lemmings will soon follow.

[Lucky9teen]

Unemployment checks inject demand into the economy, it creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."

Yeah.....they are ALL cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

[SpaceBar]

These people are competely bat-shit crazy.

An understatement.

[Vaduz]

Must be why Obama has worked so hard for three years to keep people unemployed.

[RightWingNilla]

According to these moonbats, everything stimulates the economy except for private citizens engaging in productive activity.

[BornFreeDie-N-Debt]

If that’s the case, fire everyone in the White Hut and then we”ll see a true stimulated recovery? Sounds good to me.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Whoa! Wait just a damn minute. I know that I saw Elvis in Vegas just last week. In fact, I saw him many times.

[Califreak]

How do they figure that works?

Unemployed have more time to shop or what?

[EQAndyBuzz]

Why are we bothering with the middle man? Just make everything in the world free.

Why should that poor Ethiopian be denied a steak dinner at Peter Luger?

[xzins]

Didn’t you know? Money comes from the end of a printing press. /s

[denydenydeny]

People on that side seem to be saying this more and more, as it’s a foundation for a permanent redistributive society; Soviet Communism in all but name.
