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.

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

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

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

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

How do they figure that works?

Unemployed have more time to shop or what?

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?

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.

They are using the Big Lie technique. Read up on it and educate everyone you know about it.

...and the still-blaming-Bush crew hasn’t a CLUE about what constitutes a healthy economy.

...Which explains why ours sucks after three years of their idiocy!

My wife just got laid off. Now instead of making $1,500 a week she’s getting $525 a week. I’m still employed and I make a decent salary so we will be fine. However, her lay off will cause us to cancel some trips, postpone some home improvements, eat out less etc. How can this help stimulate the economy? Besides the point, she isn’t happy doing nothing. We are part of the one percent who like to work.

The following accurately summarizes the sum total of the Democratic Party strategy.

From Thomas Sowell:

Stealing money secretly-—theft

Stealing money openly by force-—robbery

A politician taking your money in taxes and giving it to someone more likely to vote for him-—SOCIAL JUSTICE

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

Obama could never have won the presidency and governed these last 3 years without the Big Lie technique.

It is the central governing tenant of his political strategy.

Jarrett's particular Big Lie is a recycled lie from last summer, propagated by members of the Goebbels Propaganda Machine---Nancy Pelosi, NPR, Media Matters. (No doubt there were more...a virtual chorus of liars always stand ready to do the bidding of the Party.)

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

obama has already said that!

Valerie..... when almost 50% of the working population does NOT pay any taxes, and another 13% or so are on unemployment, or welfare, or both (a certain percentage of that 13% having quit looking and don’t get unemployment now), the system WILL collapse.

Valerie is apparently HAPPY about that.

Hell has a special place for the people who create situations like this.
