[quote:Anonymous Coward 1167411:MV8xMjczNjc5XzIwNzkyMjgwXzZEQzY4MjYy] [quote:susano] "Brown offered a yearlong alternative that would have used unspent or unobligated federal money. Reed objected to his proposal saying "if you burrow down into those funds, they are from a category of programs that could be spent to [b]help the economy move forward.[/b]" Yeah..how's that working right now The time used to work on the food safety bill could've been used on looking for a way to extend unemployment benefits, Brown argued. "I'm not sure why it took so long to get to his point while we spent seven days on food safety," he said. "I'm very, very curious to see what's next." ... A recent Labor Department report shows that for every dollar spent on unemployment insurance, two dollars are reinvested into the economy. ****************** The Democraps priority was controlling our food supply. When it cam to unemployment, they steadfastly refused to use left over stimulus funds or to take something else out of the budget. The Dept of Labor idiocy shows you the absolute nonsense they try to peddle. One $ in via unmeployement, two $$ magically appear!!! Republicans didn't want to see people thrown off unemployment benefits. They wanted it kept with the damn budget. Democrats are responsible for this. These assholes have given us the highest deficits and debt this country has EVER seen and they still refuse to cap their spending. Terrible days ahead for those whose checks will run out. Another country run into the ground by banksters. [/quote] Great Post. Couldn't have said it better myself! [/quote]
