![]() What silly nonsense you spout - nobody, including myself, thinks that tossing people off the unemployment rolls (hiding one's eyes and failing to count them) decreases unemployment.

![]() Well of course it does. Unless you are stating that you think every person receiving benefits is looking unsucessfully for a job. Are you saying that?

![]() No, Chuck, tossing people off unemployment and not counting them doesn't change how many people are unemployed, it only changes how many you can see to count.
That's why the "real" numbers of unemployment are higher than reported, always, as Scuds already said.

Again: Can you post one respected economist that says that taking millions off unemployment will not negatively affect the economy? That if the dollars in those unemployment checks are removed during this deep recession the economy will not suffer? Can you post an economists differing opinion that unemployment dollars do not directly help the economy with a cash infusion during recession, and prevent layoffs, etc?

Where is the support for your argument? Change my mind. Go ahead. Show me something from an economist that says that tossing people off unemployment and taking away that cash infusion doesn't harm and slow the economy, and doesn't cause increased joblessness in other industries as that unemployment money is taken out of circulation.

![]() Anyone notice that they are gunna agree to spend the most possible, and pay for it the least possible? Money spent on unemployment checks, but won't even increase taxes on millionaires. That was the least responsible thing they could do. You telling me this OBA guy ever had any kind of financial discipline? The wife has got to be in charge of that family's shyt.

Oh that's right, it is a one way street that they want us to travel down. I find it amusing reading about the unnamed liberals in the House threatening to not honor the Senate and Presidents deal. Their love of the progressive agenda and hatred of "the rich" are so great they they are willing to be obstructionist toward their own President and with seemingly little regard for the middle class and unemployed they supposedly give a damn about. Before you say that the GOP wouldnt make the deal without concessions "for millionaires" lets not forget that the head Democrat in the Senate and the Democratic President signed off on the deal that the liberals are now whining about. Remember that the voices on the left spouting off are the ones that arent up for election in 2012 or are in districts/states where they are practically unbeatable. This should bring to light that the far left cares about nothing but their desire to promote thier agenda regardless of the consequences. The entire episode proves one thing for sure. Obama sees that pandering to the left hasn't gotten him very far (he got elected for the same reason that Reid got reelected, terrible opponents) and is going to kill his chances for reelection unless he moves closer to that center where Riot and friends always claimed that he was. |

![]() It's right out of the Reaganomics playbook, and "trickle-down economics" didn't work then, didn't work during Bush II, and won't magically and suddenly work now.
In fact, David Stockmann - Reagans economic adviser, one of the creators of Reaganomics - has been making the rounds, he is completely against extending the tax cut for the rich. And in favor of a long-term extension of unemployment benefits.

![]() Not a done deal yet, but what is being reported this afternoon (and it's nice to see the GOP start to "compromise" for the first time in 2 years, although their compromise essentially lays in seemingly agreeing not to keep beating the shiat out of Obama and keep taking his lunch money). And it is notable that the most important thing to the GOP, the hill they die on, is pleasing the wealthy.
Update: must be done deal, WH announcement at 6:10pm tonight. Quote:
