WH Senior Advisor: Unemployment Stimulates the Economy
Fox News ^ | Insanity in the form of Valerie Jarrett

Posted on 02/22/2012 7:57:35 AM PST by Lazamataz

This evening, speaking at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina, White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said that folks getting and spending unemployment checks is a healthy thing . . . because it stimulates the economy: "Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community," Jarrett said. "And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it's good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that's healthy as well."

Are these people really that stupid?
I read awhile back that Carter considered himself of average inelegance and detested being around people who were more intelligent than he viewed himself, so all of his advisers, czars, appointments, whatever, he made sure they were less than him, so he could feel superior.
I would say that is BHO issue as well.

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

Obama is starting to embrace the Big Lie technique. Say shit that is so incredibly untrue, your mind reels.

No doubt Valerie would begin thinking clearly if she lost her mind!

George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four refers to the Big Lie theory on several occasions. For example:

"The key-word here is blackwhite. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts."[6]

Definition of doublethink: "To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed...."[7]

"particularly in the black community"

The "Black Community" (aka, "Holder's People") have been on the public dole for 4 generations....they have NEVER sought education or meaningful LEGAL employment en masse, and will never leave The Plantation, as long as they're allowed free feeding at the public trough. 75% are born without fathers in the picture, and NO ONE will FORCE paternity identification to make them pay the costs of the child...NO ONE will force them to take drug tests to qualify for ANY public assistance, EBT's, food stamps, voter ID, etc. This is bullshit of the first magnitude, in what Jarrett (a pure racist who would NEVER be employed if she weren't black, except possibly by a pimp or as a custodian).

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

Richard Belzer defines The Big Lie, in his book UFOs, JFK, and Elvis: Conspiracies You Don't Have To Be Crazy To Believe, this way: "If you tell a lie that's big enough, and you tell it often enough, people will believe you are telling the truth, even when what you are saying is total crap."

“”People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that’s healthy as well””

As a business owner who has to PAY the unemployment, I don’t feel all that stimulated.

No. It's called a "nightmare".

Just think of how things have changed in only 5 years. Back then, 5% unemployment was inexcusable. Homeless people were everywhere. And gasoline at $2.50 a gallon was solid proof that the Republicans had conspired with 'Big Oil' companies to rip the American people off.

Now, 9% unemployment is good for the economy, the homeless have all disappeared (I guess --- I never see stories about them anymore) and $5 gas would be a very good thing.

Well, the best we can all do is to make sure this moonbat and her league of morons become unemployed in 2013. She will find out her theory is as big a flop as her boss.

She got her talking points and the lemmings will soon follow.
