    What color is the sky on her planet? Unemployment checks are a stimulus?? Funny, I always thought it was jobs... Happy 4th, unless you live on her planet, no independence there..

    Green. More money for her. Whether her ideas make sense or benefit the American people...that's another issue.

    Actually they do stimulate the economy, I mean rent gets paid, food is bought. Besides if your friends in the GOP actually voted for the bill to pass people would get their checks, but no they obstruct just like everything else. People who are out of work because of the crash and because hardly any private business is hiring. You can bash her and the dems all you want but at least they are trying (not too hard mind you) while your GOP leaders and reps are just stopping everything. Which is funny because they scream about the deficit and what.. they caused it.

    Lowering taxes and getting the govt outta the way of small businesses would so more to stimulate the economy and grow it as well than an unemployment check could ever under any circumstances hope to do.

    Also, It's not my gop; never was. If it was mine I'd throw out 90% of the assholes in it, and keep the rest. The idea that the gop is stopping the dems is funny since they don't actually need and republican votes...

    well said, the GOP can't stop the Dem's. there aren't enough. it's always us vs. them but in reality it's stupid people vs. stupid people and the more anyone believes that it's all black and white, republican and democrat, etc, the worse we get.

    Our liberal brothers on this forum will never get that taking money from one group of people and giving it to another is wrong. Unemployment checks don't stimulate anything but more handouts. While it is necessary to keep people from starving it was never intended to be their income stream but rather a stop gap measure. The Dems have all the votes to do anything they want for the time being but a day of reckoning is coming. With the trillions given away we still have unemployment at exactly the same level as before, still seeing a net loss of real (non-govt) jobs and the economy is total crap with huge tax increases just around the corner. Even some of the great liberal minds of the past understood that tax decreases stimulate the economy through investment and spending. Govt cannot create wealth, they only take it.

    Not only this, but Congress still has the right to give themselves raises every year...which they use every year.

    Haven't you heard? Paying people not to work is stimulating. War is Peace. Paying higher taxes is patriotic. Freedom is Slavery. Spending other people's money is the road to prosperity. Ignorance is strength.

    you are right. it is theft.


    if i have $20,000 and 19 people come up to me and say "we have no money can you give me some?" then i give them each $1000 it is charity.

    if i say no but they all take a vote and the vote is 19 to 1 that i give them my money under penalty of imprisonment it is still theft. they took things from me that i earned against my will.



    they will then say it was my "moral obligation" to give them the money that i earned and they did not. Provided i earned that money and created that wealth without violating the rights of others i have the right to do with it as i please.




    and getting a check for not working does not create wealth. its not about spending money. its about creating wealth. when you take from one part of the economy to give to the other, there is no net gain of wealth. there is movement of money. money and wealth are not the same thing. unemployment checks do not create wealth. JOBS create wealth. unemployment checks are analogous to taking water out of the deep end of the pool and dumping it in the shallow end and wondering why the pool isnt getting any deeper. it is a zero sum.

    however, when a company can hire someone to make something the thing that is created is wealth.
    i make gourmet chocolates with my wife. we take raw products that are worth very little, put them together in a way that no body else does, and sell them for more then the sum of the parts is worth. THAT is wealth creation and stimulus.

    Too bad Americans don't understand that the very people who are being hit with Obama's tax increases are the people they rely on for their jobs. To the great unwashed these are just rich people who aren't paying their fair share.

    Does this make anyone else laugh? When the party that has whole heartedly tried to destroy christianity talks about "moral obligation" Not sure about anybody else but I'm content my moral obligation is filled by tithing.
