That is why I did not say Democrats or Republican. Every elected person from the time they get elected to the time they leave office has only one person’s best interest at heart, and that is themselves.
Now if it is in their best interest to follow the mandates of those that elected them, good. If not (as when they receive bribes, opps, I meant campaign funds from a special interest group, then they will support the side that gave them the most money.
Our entire system is corrupt, just think it only took us 200 plus years to reach this point. Other great civilizations managed to go on for thousands of years before corruption killed them off.
It would help if we had an honest press, but we don’t.
Here is an idea Mr. Media boss, how about a story on every member of congress that entered office as a middle class person with modest savings leaving office multimillionaires.
As you say...why stop? Why not raise the minimum to $25/hr and UI to $1000/week for all for life with a two week eligibility for the full benefit.
question for Crowley.. is there ANY limit on the length of time she thinks someone healthy and capable of work should be able to receive unemployment benefits?
2 years?
10 years?
50 years?
is there ANY limit to how long she is willing to pay to have perfectly healthy people sit at home on their butts?
Liberals tell me I should vote for what is in it for me.
Conservatives tell me I should vote for what is best for the nation.
My clarification on this obvious blithering; “If I am a selfish unemployed liberal, why would I vote for the party that insists that to extend unemployment benefits would require spending cuts in other places?”
A thoroughly repulsive dork .
Sometimes I think I love to see the Rinos counter-offer of $30 an hour minimum wage just to get the Democrats to vote against it.
(Or $50...whatever it takes)
They could talk about the heartless Democrats not wanting people to have a normal, middle-class life. In fact, they could use all the Democrat talking points against them.
This, of course, assume the Dems would oppose it as an idea that would be too costly.
You’re not actually requiring people to have actually found a job and worked it for 14 days to be eligible to collect the lifetime unemployment benefit are you?
That’s not fair. What if they were unable to look for a job because they were too busy selling drugs or working as prostitutes? What if the job interview time conflicted with the Oprah show?
People should not have to have actually worked to get unemployment. Unemployment Compensation is a Human Right!!!!!
And blame it on the Republicans
She’s 2 dorks in one
That’s what I asked.
They are obviously smart and know who protects them
Something like it
I know, I read the article yesterday
See the contents in the brackets after the title
Why would any GOP candidate now agree to have you moderate a debate?
Good question, but maybe they have no other choice because the left would accuse them of all kinds things
Well, if Christie does run, I wouldn’t mind if she moderated the GOP debate, since it would be good TV to have both of them on camera at the same time (note to camerman, bring a wide angle lens).
If you have watched his conference this morning where he was asked about it you would have noticed that he made it clear that the job for what he was elected and for which he has not been inaugurated yet (his own words) is more important to him then the other. So stop your speculation and concentrate on the midterm election and especially that we can take the majority from rats in the Senate in a huge margin, and increase our seats in the House.
Geez lighten up (lighten, he he, pardon the pun), I was just making a fat joke!
