In all this talk about unemployment benefits, no one brings up the fact that if there were JOBS

[FLAprogressive]

there would not be such a dire need for unemployment.

[Skittles]

1. they want us to get used to our new way of life

[Lasher]

2. Oh they're just getting started.

Remember the catfood commission? They've just been waiting until the Obama tax cuts were safely in the bag.

[Skittles]

3. yeah, I know, they're not done with us

and we are SUCK with Obama

[truedelphi]

4. Yep, the main considerations of any topic are never mentioned.

Homeland Security demands on individuals that are so much horse manure, with out the horses.

Non ending unwinnable wars, that are all about keeping the MIC maximizing the profits.

A tax code that at its best is pervasively regressive, and at its worse it destroying the middle incomed and continuing the diversion of wealth to the upper One Percent.

[FLAprogressive]

5. exactly

[Still a Democrat]

6. Really???

Wow.

[MadHound]

7. Another thing that nobody mentions,

Namely that last year's stimulus, the one that Obama and the Dems caved on when they had huge majorities, could have been the vehicle for creating those much needed jobs. But Obama and the Dems decided to cave and larded on the tax cuts, to the point that the stimulus bill consisted of nearly forty percent tax cuts. All in pursuit of that mythical bipartisanship, all in pursuit of three 'Pug votes.

It was obvious then that the this president either couldn't, or wouldn't fight.

[truedelphi]

9. Why would he fight?

The Powers that Be have him under their control, and he will get his second term as long as they are kept happy.

[Bandit]

8. The wealthy got their tax cut extension so there will be jobs up the gazoo.

Republicans told us so and everyone knows only Democrats LIE.
