If you conitnue the policies that created all the unemployed in the first place

[Winterblues]

You are just going to get more unemployed..So is the compromise really worth it? Give in for unemployment insurance payments while creating more unemployment for your troubles..Tax Cuts for the Wealthy have NEVER done a lot for employment. Trickle Down does not work...Why continue with the failed policies just for some very short term gain? Want to cure a cold, shoot yourself in the head...

1. The housing boom was an artificial result of a bubble.

Maybe the unemployment isn't as unnatural as it was the employment we had during the end of the Bush years that were skewed.

2. The housing boom was the result

of policy intended to create a record number of homeowners.

3. For some reason

many around here feel we should continue failed policy and expect a different result.

I've been trying to sell them some bridges, but no matter how low I drop my prices they still can not afford them.

4. So the tax cuts must be for a reason other than creating employment.

But the real reason is so repugnant only a few pushing the tax cut will admit to it. Although Alan Simpson does come sneeringly close.

Supply-side economics has always been a con to transfer wealth upwards, there was never any trickle down about it. And it worked beautifully for them.
