Unemployment benefits are creating jobs faster than practically any other program, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Thursday.
Talking to reporters, the House speaker was defending a jobless benefits extension against those who say it gives recipients little incentive to work. By her reasoning, those checks are helping give somebody a job.
"It injects demand into the economy," Pelosi said, arguing that when families have money to spend it keeps the economy churning. "It creates jobs faster than almost any other initiative you can name."
Unbelievable.

Wow, I didn't think I would ever hear her say anything more stupid than "We have to pass this bill to find out what's in it."
The people of her district deserve to be dropped in the Pacific for sending this idiot to represent them.

I'll let you know if I get an unemployment cheque in about 6 weeks and see if that is true, since I was removed from my government-based job last Monday (assume I land another job before then). I no longer work directly for the Corporation of the united States. I guess I am free to speak freely now.
