What nonsense. Instead of quoting a political opinion blog, why don't you read something like Wikipedia explaining unemployment during the Great Depression and since?
Pelosi is repeating what the economists say, too. If you would like to dismiss economic realities as untrue, support your contention and post something from Bloomberg or WSJ or any other economic think tank that shows paying unemployment during high unemployment times doesn't help keep the economy going. We'll wait ....

all these links purporting to show the truth in fact are just to support the dems case, and riots/pelosis' agenda.

The facts from the economists are that unemployment insurance helps keep the economy going in a recession. You have one that differs? The Dems embrace that. In fact, the GOP embraces that, too, and always have (heck Bush even sent out stimulus checks) - because it's just a simple economic fact. You've not seen the GOP deny it's true.
The GOP hasn't voted for unemployment benefit extension as they are holding out for their tax cuts for the rich.
