What ever happen to Pelosi’s pay as you go directive when she was House Majority leader?

I am so sick of the Republicans sticking to their principles only to reverse themselves and sit and have a drink with Dems and laugh at us stupid americans....

Boehner and other Rino’s do the damage first by going out and saying “No we are not extending unemployment benefits” then they leave on holiday....then they come back and think they can undue the damage by giving in....

I wish Sheriff Arapaio would dig into the backgrounds of Boehner and other Rino’s and just expose whatever Obama and Dems have over them- because this is the only thing that explains what is going on...

Go ahead then and pay for it yourself. Leave us Americans alone.

I agree. But I have a problem with someone telling me it’s the Christian thing to do to have godless people redistribute income.

Aren’t there ‘work farms’? IE: You wanted taxpayer $$, you show up to the Park Service, DoT and clean the trails, roadsides...maybe scrub a toilet or two, and get paid $X/hr. (up to the week max). Hell, maid service the unemployment office (since they’re there anyway)! Assist at the local hospital/free clinic. Don’t tell me there’s NOTHING to be done. All this can be 24/7 (so HELP those who’ll need ‘child care’).

Oh, I’m sure the unions, that take a week to clean .5mi section of highway, will complain....

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

― Samuel Adams

Yes, this IS what he was speaking of. - half of the posters here are to the left of Putin.

The way to get people back on their feet is thru stimulus of the private sector including business,churches and charities.

Socialists won’t do that. But that is THE answer. So why advocate the HARMFUL solution which keeps socialists in power? It makes it worse.
