Melissa Harris Perry went further and said the alternative to this helping hand (unemployment comp extension) to find a job was welfare and the GOP wanted Americans on welfare.
Don’t forget the argument that unemployment comp puts $$$ in ‘Americans pockets’ which they spend right away stimulating the economy which creates jobs.
I love Pelosi’s “welfare checks-create-spending” argument.
As if the Taxpayers’ spending isn’t negatively impacted!
