A popular Dem demand, coming back in the ongoing budget negotiations. They want to continue to fund unemployment benefits for ever longer periods. The "reasoning" here is that unemployment insurance is a stimulus.
So we're being asked to believe that paying people not to work will result in more people working.
ANyone else think there's a problem here?

The unemployment rate will skyrocket in the short term if the benefits are stopped. People will move from the pool of 'not looking' to the pool of people 'looking for employment'. The former group is not counted in the most popularly quoted unemployment rate statistic.

Big problems for the Dems in mid-term elections if that number goes up, even if the number of people employed goes up.
 
Good.

Thanks to Republican/Conservative policies, it's taking much longer to find a job.

That "trickle thing" was a fucking disaster.
 
Democrats would like lifetime unemployment coverage. Starting at graduation.

At birth. Utopia is 'The Matrix'.

And you post this after the Bush administration gave us the "Patriot Act", the Department of Homeland Security, "Enhanced Interrogation" and the Authorization to Use Military Force.

:itsok:

All that shit REALLY DID TAKE AWAY your liberties.

The 'trickle thing', which gave us the boom in the 1990s, was 30 years ago. Nobody looks for a job for 30 years.

No no.

It was BOOM then BUST.

By the way, Jobs were created by the "great" Ronald Reagan by spending us into oblivion and one of the biggest tax hikes in history.

Obama's deficit exceed Reagan's entire budget. Why aren't we experiencing the 6% growth Reagan did?
Quit deflecting. We are being told that paying people nto to work will result in more people working. Do you really believe that?

wow, the new DNC talking point?

So much liberal fail in this country now. Watching their party eat its own tail is quite entertaining

See?

That's the problem with you guys.

You break shit.

Then you whine like little girls when people start to fix things.

Who's whining. I think this shit is hysterical. You guys have fucked up nearly everything and STILL continue to point the finger elsewhere.

Health-care is a disaster
Unemployment is a complete joke
We won't even discuss foreign affairs
The rich continue to get richer lol
The poor, well they're just fucked, trapped
The middle class is getting the squeeze on EVERYTHING.

Then you all see this and point at someone else. The public isn't buying your bullshit anymore.

Hysterical indeed

It's all they have left...taking Responsibility for thing under Obama/ Democrat/liberals is like a sin to them

They have had Six years to Fix things and Save us all..but it's Republicans fault they haven't
that Trillion dollars they stole from us and called a Stimulus, wasn't enough for them

sad and pathetic
 
I find it funny as fucking hell the left is now bashing Reagan for the failed policies of Obama as if still blaming Bush who has been out of office for almost five years wasn't pathetic enough you now want to blame a man who has not been in office for twenty five years.:cuckoo:
