It seems the stupidity of the morons in Washington has no bounds. Now they are wanting to supplement the states that have over 8.5% unemployment to get additional moneys from me and you. So what about the states that have done a good job at keeping unemployment at minimums? It is fair to take money from Texas and give it to California? And what about that POS territory called Puerto Rico? Why are they getting anything? They aren't a state and turned down statehood. I think it would make a dandy test site for a nuclear explosion yet the zipperheads in Washington think we need to send OUR money to them. And then they wonder why Joe Common is so mad. They are so out of touch it makes ya wonder if they even know anything about the folks they represent. Anyway, here's the article:

They just have to make sure that these unemployed people don't get mad at the democrats in control for their unemployment. Dems have to give them free money to keep them happy and hope for that vote.

 

"Con" is the opposite of "pro," so "congress" must be the opposite of "progress."

 

Have you checked on the Unemployment rate for Texas?
I'd say the trend shows it's approaching the threshold.



But I do agree on putting puerco rico on the bottom of the ocean.

 

Just another ploy for the federal government to get more control of the states and usurp the Constitution.

Anyone familiar with economics knows its a mistake to extend unemployment benefits. People are less likely to pursue job prospects. More taxpayer money out the door.

 

I wrote that on the whiteboard at my job (a college sorrority), you wouldnt believe how dumb some people are in politics.
