Liberals are idiots. Pelosi, Jay Carney and a host of other Democrats have said the same thing. Using their logic, why is the economy stagnant despite the record long-term unemployment benefits (more unemployment checks) and record food stamp usage (more food stamps)? If the economy was stimulated, unemployment would be lower and less Americans would be on food stamps.
(CNSNews.com) – House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Tuesday that food stamps and unemployment insurance are the two “most stimulative” t things you can do for the economy.
Taking from one group of Americans to support another group of Americans doesn’t work or stimulate the economy.
During a pen and pad briefing with reporters on Capitol Hill, Hoyer was asked if any Democrats are “reconsidering the wisdom” of letting the Bush tax cuts expire at year’s end for the top income earners given the still struggling U.S. economy.
“I haven’t talked to any who are of that mind,” said Hoyer. “If you talk to economists, they will tell you there are two things that are the most stimulative that you can do — one’s unemployment insurance, the other’s food stamps, okay?”
Sure if you don’t consider job creation which creates checks and revenue.
