WH Senior Advisor: Unemployment Stimulates the Economy

Fox News ^ | Insanity in the form of Valerie Jarrett

[Redalways]

Correction: Unemployment benefits (not unemployment per se) helps stimulate the economy, is what he said.

Correction: Unemployment benefits (not unemployment per se) helps stimulate the economy, is what he said.

Correction: It is a SHE, not a he, namely Valerie Jarrett.

Secondly, while bandaids help your health very slightly,
it helps your health MUCH MORE to not get cut to begin with.
- JUST AS -
While unemployment benefits help the economy very slightly,
it helps the economy MUCH MORE not to make people unemployed.

If Republicans use my bandaid analogy, it will be much easier to explain to John Q. Public.

[Lazamataz]

I am investigating but it appears from first glance, we have a leftist on the forum. So far, I have him or her:

1. Implicitly defending Valerie Jarrett, here.

2. Strenuously defending the Volt.

3. Criticism of Bush, citing that 'real unemployment' was on the rise in 2008 -- and not citing that under Obama it exploded.

4. Posting in apparent agreement with McCain, and the use of quotation marks to mock those who call Obama's actions treasonous.

5. Antiwar sentiments expressed when possible.

Yeah, this guy's a leftie.

NOTE TO FUTURE SUBTLETY-TROLLS: AVOID ME. I HAVE A NOSE FOR FERRETING YOU OUT.

Democrats love slavery while calling Republicans slave owners.

Using her own logic the question becomes “If people spending unemployment benefits helps the economy wouldn’t the economy be helped even more if we left the money in the hands of the people who earned it, and $1 was spent for every $1 earned instead of the government taking $1 and giving people $0.50 to spend?”

[Colorado Cowgirl]

First off Valerie Jarrett is a smug, prissy little bitch. Neither she or Obozo understand that “Unemployment isn’t working”!!! They are educated way beyond their intelligence.

[CSM]

“Unemployment benefits (not unemployment per se) helps stimulate the economy, is what he said.”

The only way to receive unemployment benefits, per se, is to lose ones job, per se. So, my fellow FReepers’ comments on this thread holds true and you are right, you will always be red (as in communist, per se.)

"It's almost as if the press were playing favorites rather than honestly reporting the news... Nah, that can't be it ,"

Hard to believe that those paragons of journalistic integrity at ABC-NBC-SeeBS-CNN-NYT, et al, Inc.(C) would do such a thing. < /s >

[RipSawyer]

Liberals simply cannot understand that the economy is all about production, they imagine that somehow consumption is what drives the economy. Some posters on FR seem to have the same opinion. I think the fact that only a tiny percentage have any exposure to farm life now is a part of the problem. Those who grew up on a little farm as I did can never become confused over which is really important, you learn at a tender age that you have to produce BEFORE you can consume.

They are definitely smoking something in the WH
