How will the Senate pay for extended unemployment costs?

Oh Forkie here we go again. Just answer the question.

Please see above. Chilcoot answered it two hours and 59 minutes before your post.

Now don't you feel silly?


Possibly I missed an answer from PJ, or Chilly, or Forkie, but I think not.

For the sixth time I'll ask you guys "Is it acceptable to pay for the huge unemployment giveaway with an IOU and a loan from China?"

Dodging the question proves a lot.

Absolutely! - because it helps America and Americans.

But I'm sure you disagree. But since neither one of has a direct pipeline to The Truth, we can argue our own positions. I would point to the New Deal, World War II, and the Reagan administration, when huge government spending (and deficits) helped right the economy. I would also point to the Clinton administration, which turned out well, and the G.W. Bush administration, which didn't.

But your argument always seems to be a version of "Because I said so." Call me silly, but I don't find that persuasive.
Detroit also buys into your thought on overspending, and how is that working?

I dont answer questions based upon false premises. Your article doesn't say anything about an IOU to China. You made that up and now demand we answer a question based upon your fabricated reality...and its on an unsigned bill, no less. So you're right, I'm not playing.

But in the real world and in documented history, Boilerman led the parade of cheerleaders for debt-creating-policy to the tune of 4 trillion dollars and counting. You dont need to answer your own question, Boilerman. We already know the answer. You openly embrace massive IOU's to China that dwarf any scale you are talking about on this thread.... so long as its for policy you agree with.

I do not openly agree with government borrowing and debt. I believe that our debt problems should be solved with massive spending cuts on government giveaways. A very small percentage of Americans are not "able bodied", and those who able bodied should take care of themselves and should receive nothing from the government. Non-profit charities should and will fill in as best they can, and they are best qualified to do so.

We must stop giving away money that we don't have. Some argue for higher taxation, yet this drives business abroad and decreases tax revenues. Running an ever increasing debt is not sustainable.

Able bodied or not, lots of folks are just plain lazy. Cutting them off the government teat won't suddenly motivate them. They'll just cause crime and wind up in prison costing the tax payers even more money.
"Able bodied or not, lots of folks are just plain lazy. Cutting them off the government teat won't suddenly motivate them.

All around, a win-win.
Agreed Drmilled.
