WH Senior Advisor: Unemployment Stimulates the Economy

Fox News ^ | Insanity in the form of Valerie Jarrett

[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."

These people are competely bat-shit crazy.

[CAluvdubya]

What....an....idiot!!

[Da Coyote]

“These people are competely bat-shit crazy.”

Succinct and true.

No more needs to be said.

Jarrett said. “And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net.

I see Jarrett and Romney are in agreement....

So Val says that having black people on unemployment is good for the economy. Blind followers! Every frickin’ Obama 12 sticker I see just amazes me.

[saganite]

Marxist idiot.

[RightOnline]

Well just s**t fire and save matches......ol’ Val has hit upon the cure for all of our country’s economic woes.

Why, all we need to do is send every dime we earn to the Feds and let them redistribute the money as they see fit...of course, heavily favoring blacks. See, then the economy will get a HUGE stimulus!

{slapping forehead]....now why didn’t I think of that?????

[Lazamataz]

I mean, we have a very target-rich environment during the coming election. By target-rich, I mean, the amount of crazy statements coming out of the mouths of this Administration, will make for a plethora of great campaign ads.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.

This guy beat you to the idea.

[mandaladon]

Is this some kind of a joke?

[G Larry]

Lies and ignorance stimulate liberals.

[ZX12R]

No kidding! Can it get any more stoopid?

[org.whodat]

First idiot I ever heard of that flunked econ 101.

[Lazamataz]

Awesome. All we need for a full recovery is 100% unemployment.

I will go Valerie one better.

I think, if we use 10% of those unemployed to actively tear down and destroy infrastructure -- kind of simulating 110% unemployment, there -- we will have even BETTER and LARGER recovery.

[laweeks]

So, using this idiot's logic, if we were ALL out of work and on welfare, the economy would be BOOMING!

[Lazamataz]

Go to the source. She said it. She meant it.

[Former Proud Canadian]

Yes, unemployment is good for you.

Obama did not cancel the Keystone pipeline.

We are at war with Eastasia and have always been at war with Eastasia.

Am I living in a novel?
