Pass Unemployment Extension
Jon Kyle. He voted to go to war without worrying about how it was going to be paid for. He voted for the Bush tax cuts without worrying about how they were going to be paid for. He’s been arguing that the Bush tax cuts should be extended, without worrying about how they will be paid for. But for people who have been out of work for over two years Jon Kyle wants the Democrats to come up with other spending cuts to “pay for” the unemployment extension. It’s time to throw out these greedy Republican bastards.
This is the worst economic environment since the Great Depression. Cutting off the few hundred dollars per week that people who are unemployed through no fault of their own is like kicking a wounded dog. History shows that you don’t try to balance the budget during a depression/recession. Give them back their measly unemployment checks, they spend that money right away on food, gas and rent. And as I’m reminded by some of the talking heads, unemployment insurance is paid while you work to help out when you get laid off. They are getting back some of the money they have paid in over the years.
Jon Kyle, let’s cut off spending on the war to pay for unemployment. Let’s remove the depletion credit that oil companies receive for every gallon of oil pumped out of the ground. That’s how you pay for it. Stop being an obstructionist. Lead, follow, or get out of the mufuggin way. And don’t forget the wounded dog is very likely to bite you when you try to kick it.
