Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs

Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday. fox news

Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.

Talking to reporters, the House speaker was defending a jobless benefits extension against those who say it gives recipients little incentive to work. By her reasoning, those checks are helping give somebody a job.

"It injects demand into the economy," Pelosi said, arguing that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."

Pelosi said the aid has the "double benefit" of helping those who lost their jobs and acting as a "job creator" on the side.

"It's impossible to think of a situation where we would have a country that would say we're not going to have unemployment benefits," Pelosi said.

Evidently receiving a check from the government automatically creates the goods and services those checks will purchase.

Sheer genius!

She is freaking insane.

It’s really scary considering her position.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Okay, this should be enough for people to recognize: the woman is not merely stupid, she is insane.

She just has cause and effect backwards, just as liberal economics dictates. "Money allows humans to create value" rather than "Humans create value to make money".

Dump a hundred billion dollars into the ghetto, she reasons, and a million Rhodes Scholars will spring forth to create jobs and make big campaign contributions to Democrats...

Which says volumes about the Porkulus bill, don't it?

[Texas4ever]

Unbelievable....So, Teacher Unions protest the War, hate our Troops and kick recruiters out of their campuses, YET......The Warfuding bill will supply more money for teachers, unions, the democrats...and oh ya some will go to our Soldiers...WHAT!!!

[Tzimisce]

This woman will be re-elected in a landslide!

Ok, I am going with “this can not be real”, it’s just the codeine cough syrup I am taking for a cough because no one can be this stupid in real life.

[lonestar]

Pelosi does more than anybody to define Democrat voters!

[Lazamataz]

I simply love this woman.

Next up on the Pelosi Show:

• "Do you know how we can lift the standard of living for people? We simply take away everything and put them in mud huts!"

• "Healthy living for our consitutants means we make them eat mercury! Mercury is wholesome, nutritous, and TASTY!"

• "The other day it was raining weasels, and I thought, what a wonderful idea it would be to make everyone paint their stomachs red!"

• "Fletas. Plupssobuk. Bosuemt. Ltipen. GOOLLLOOOOOPPBBBBEFFFLOOOOOBBBBBB."

Botox infiltrated brain-dead disaster (makes me feel good saying that)....alternate universe alert in my opinion.

Hey Nancy, what is the difference between unemployment payments and the Bush Tax Cuts? One works to stimulate the economy and the other encourages former workers to wait and hope that their FORMER jobs will come back. Nancy obviously uses a fun-house mirror to display the logic for her. Methinks she is smoking the big Tuna too much!

[shteebo]

“Unemployment insurance is the best way we have to create jobs.” LOL HAHAHA ROFLMAO priceless! Gotta admit, though, it takes hutzpa to say something so outrageously stupid on the record.

Priceless

The last time they extended unemployment benefits, I nearly quit my new job because the check for being an unemployed computer programmer was more than the paycheck for being a day-to-day substitute teacher.

However, if I had quit, that opportunity wouldn't have been there for me 13 weeks later.

I believe you can indeed create jobs with unemployment checks.

You just have to limit them to the bureaucrats in DC.

[24-7Freeper]

The government has now created a new "Job" - Your NOT unemployed, you now have a new 'job'! --

** UE Check Collector **

Thanks to Nancy, thousands of these new "Jobs" are created everyday! Yea!

/sarc.

I don't begrudge her the right to be a commie, I guess, but shouldn't they at least try to make some sort of sense? These people remind me of the hippies that circled the Pentagon, held hands and tried to make it levitate into the air.
