There he goes again calling Republicans "cruel" but why not call them torturers and invoke the cruel and unusual punishment amendment of our constitution?

Forcing people to find a job is sooooooo cruel!
Anything to try to divert attention from the ongoing implosion of Obamacare.

“Unemployment Benefits’ Expiration “Just Plain Cruel””
Oh well. Expecting taxpayers to keep funding people to not work for over 2 years is cruel too.
And didnt this ***off just get back from a vacation that cost us millions?

Just a few days after Christmas, more than one million of our fellow Americans lost a vital economic lifeline the temporary permanent insurance that helps folks make ends meet while they look for a job, sleep in and send a few resumes out >
FIFH.
Study after study and empirical data (Don't extend unemployment benefits) have shown that when the free money stops, the people magically find jobs that eluded them for 2+ years.
Unemployment insurance was supposed to be BRIDGE insurance for a short time. 10% unemployment (the real #)=90% employment.
And anyone who says "there are no jobs" is 100% full of crap. It is "there are no jobs THAT I WANT TO PERFORM."

What the government needs to do is provide some get out of the way, deregulation, no taxation ecconomy building leadership. Provide jobless benefits by clearing the path for business to espand, generate wealth and jobs. Even with the Obummer ecconomic strangulation, there are jobs. Might not be where you live but that is the breaks. Get busy and get a job.

Bring back American jobs.
Just saying...

Ah ‘cmon, bamster. You keep telling us how much YOU have improved the economy so those out of work shouldn’t have a problem finding a job.-—or are you LYING AGAIN?

The debate should not be about......how much money goes into the economy or whether or not it is a detriment to people getting jobs or not. The debate should be whether we are going to turn unemployment benefits into another welfare program or not.

It looks as though the Kenyan bass turd is shifting back into his class warfare mode again. The people in this country deserve everything that the communists do to them once the communist takeover is complete.

One of the states did a study and found the best way to help people find jobs was cut their extended unemployment payments.
The extended unemployment insurance is nothing more than a way to paper over and disguise the Obama Administrations failure to provide economic recovery and growth via welfare checks paid for with borrowed money.
That's economic development, Obama Style
