Now Lembke Accuses Unemployed of Stealing!

First topic message reminder :

This jerk is back at it. Saying the unemployed should not get extended benefits and get a job & stop their "stealing".

"People need to get off their backside and get a job. Maybe they'll have to take two jobs or three jobs to make ends meet. But they need to quit stealing from their neighbors."

I asked him WHAT jobs (as well as being out of touch, etc.) and did they have any openings as I would be happy to send his office my resume!

Hi MaryKay,

States are free to turn away federal money. But you're pointing out a bitter irony here. The extended tax cuts for the wealthy are free and clear, because it's administered on the federal level. The extended unemployment benefits--since they're administered on the state level--are not quite so free and clear. So the "deal" back in December was even more lopsided than one might think, because GOP-controlled states can now block the extended benefits, but not the extended tax cuts. How do you like those apples??

Plutocracy at its finest, yes?
