Pelosi just said that unemployment benefits create jobs!

0 votes

If I hadn't heard it with my own ears I would not have believed it.

She was denigrating the no vote on extending FEDERAL unemployment benefits (which should not exist in the first place) when she made the remark.

When asked if unemployment benefits cause disincentive to work, she stated that it doesn't and that economists agree that unemployment benefits stimulate the economy.

I wonder which socialist books about economics she reads.

This woman is very confused.

Government jobs maybe...

but who among us wants more of those?

You were lying in your bed, you were feeling kind of sleepy. But you couldn't close your eyes because the room was getting creepy...were those eyeballs in the closet...was that Pelosi down the hall? There was something big: it's Harry Reid, his shadows on the wall! Now your heart is beating like a drum, your skin is getting clammy, there's a hundred cranky statists jumping right into your jammies..... (with profuse apologies to Phil Vischer :)

But that man should play the tyrant over God, and find Him a better man than himself, is astonishing drama indeed!~~D. Sayers

I've gotten to

the point at which I can't look at her face, if she comes on tv I have to change the channel. As soon as I see her I start to grind my teeth. She is pure evil. Not one word she says can be believed, I'm not even sure that she believes it, but she surely knows the effect of what she's saying will have on her liberal army of welfare recipients, unions, UN scientists, and university professors. I am praying that the worthless, godless, subhuman hag is voted out of office so that she can retire to some vineyard in commu-fornia and hopefully choke to death on a grape.

NPR's marketplace show recently said the same.

I wish I had the clip - it was jaw-dropping amazing.

Unemployment should never go to the able-bodied. I know, I had it and it made me LAZY!

Yeah? She probably sees

and Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow said...

...once that unemployment benefits are the fastest and most effective way to stimulate the economy ....

http://stabenow.senate.gov/press/2009/110409StabenowLeadsEff...

...and "the Hill" also reported that the CBO said each dollar in unemployment compensation = $1.90 in economic stimulus ...

http://michiganmessenger.com/39165/unemployment-extension-up...

We're hearing it from ALL sides ... my question is whether or not any DP'ers can put me to work; since they didn't pass the last extension last week, I was notified that I will be CUT OFF July 3rd, the day I am speaking at our next Tea Party ... so, I am obviously with you all in theory ... but ... without unemployment, and NO JOBS...how will I pay my bills for my family of 7 as of July 4th???

When are we going to call the situation what it is? NOTICE, I am one of the poorest of the poor; self-educated since BEFORE I ended up unemployed, a former 2008 candidate for State Representative, now STILL rightly standing with the TEA PARTY MOVEMENT...48 hours from...what?

It's easy to sit back and judge these tyrants...but again...this "outrage" is long overdue, and with my 'benefits' being abruptly cut off 10 weeks EARLY with a one-week notice...the clock begins ticking down until what?

This Tea Party Movement doesn't pay - boy, but being an ecumenical one world church leader, calling for fiscal conservatism on Glenn Beck sure does...did you see that panel he had on today? John Hagee with Ralph Reed with David Barton?

I hope there's a pay off for swimming upstream against the current!

What city and state are you in? Perhaps someone near

you hear on DP can help out with some leads for you.

They are cutting off benefits for people who have already been receiving them for nearly two years - not people who are still within the regular 26 week cap.

Have you been out of work for 2 years?

Why?

Is there absolutely NOTHING you can do for work in 2 YEARS?

Sorry, but I find that very difficult to believe.

If it is true, then maybe you need to use what little you do have to find a job elsewhere and work out the move. It sucks, but since the checks are going to stop anyway, what else can you do?

Gee whiz, that's tough having

Gee whiz, that's tough having a family of 7 to feed. Maybe look into local government jobs (as much as I hate to recommend it). They seem to be the only ones hiring these days.

LOL. I can not believe I just told someone on here the very same thing. That is horrible.

I don't have a house full of mouths to feed, so I say the guy's family comes first. Do anything to keep everyone healthy, short of robbing banks. Beg on a corner if it works.

John Dennis needs to attack this Idiocracy!

I really think he could have a fighting chance... especially with his anti-war stance, and her blatant turn coat attitude on the war.

That's right

John Dennis really needs to get the Republicans and the Independents off their asses to at least vote, for him of course!! LOL !!

Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow

"Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence; it is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions." Thomas Jefferson, Kentucky Resolutions of 1798

With her logic

(or lack of), we should all quit our jobs or businesses and collect unemployment for the remainder of our life. That should cause the economy to BOOM!

Liberty is on the march, tyranny is on the run!

Perhaps this would help her get beyond her confusion

What are you fightin' for?
Caught in the middle?
Freedom is only for those with the guts to defend it!

That's just flyover country to her

Besides, her cronies are taking care of the peasants there.

Nancy Pelosi is a complete idiot

She's so easy to control because she feels accomplished but has no clue what to do about it or with it. Lucky for her she has handlers that take care of all thinking related activities. Her and Sarah Palin could babble all day about shoes I'm sure.

Pelosi now says pigs fly

Watch out for the pig droppings.

believe pigs do fly

cause I think I saw her overhead on her broom yesterday

cee cee

Cee Cee

don't insult pigs. :)

apologies to 4 legged pigs :)

you are ever so right M&M...should not have insulted pigs that way....at least not all of them

no apology to the pigs feeding at the DC trough...

cee cee

LOL
