Pelosi: Unemployment Checks Fastest Way to Create Jobs
This story is so shockingly made of fail it makes my brain hurt.
“It injects demand into the economy,” Pelosi said, arguing that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. “It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name.”
Nance, honey, stick to something that you understand, like…umm…that well is pretty dry.
Where to begin with the fail?
- For one thing, Nancy baby, in order to create jobs, you need to grow the economy. Very few folks I know on unemployment (including yours truly) make MORE money than they did when employed. In my case, my weekly benefit is about 1/6 of what my regular take home pay was.
- In case you can’t figure it out, I’m spending a little bit less than I used to. My economic activity is decreasing, not increasing.
- Oh, and that money? I’m getting in unemployment? You are taking from other taxpayers. It’s a zero sum gain, sweetie.
- And, BTW, we are running at a deficit. So, you aren’t even taking the money from current taxpayers…your stealing it from my kids.
- By your logic, the best way to grow the economy is for EVERYBODY to go on unemployment. Then we will create jobs like wildfire.
And these jokers think they are the smartest folks in the room…
