No, they are not buying TV's. They are buying groceries, gas, heat, pay mortgage. That keeps all those providers employed.

Take away those unemployment checks, and you have lost all that spending. You have people living in the street, and nobody buying groceries, and thus those jobs providing groceries are threatened and lost.

Is this really that hard to understand? This isn't politics It's high school Economics 101.
