Why Nancy Pelosi MUST BE VOTED OUT in the next election

Watch this:

Pelosi.. Unemployment Creates Jobs

WashExaminer remarks..

So Nancy would have us believe that extending unemployment benefits "creates jobs"?

First off.. let's call these extended benefits what they are... Welfare. That's right.. Welfare.. Because the regular benefits were actual insurance, with premiums paid by both employers and employees. But they don't want to call it Welfare.. So they call it "extended unemployment benefits"..

Listen up Nancy.. I agree that we need to create jobs. But if you think keeping people on welfare is the way to do it, you're not playing with a full deck.

Why not just use those extended unemployment benefits to pay for a tax credit for small businesses to hire and (re)train those on the unemployment roles? At least these people would be retaining job skills instead of wallowing in self-pity, drinking beer, and playing Xbox.

But that's not the game plan.. Keep people on those "extended benefits" and guess what??.. They're more likely to vote democratic in the next election.

The government has a role in stimulating the economy and stabilizing the job market. After all, this country is about it's people. Political Parties and Corporations exist to SERVE the needs of the people. They are TOOLS for promoting opportunities for prosperity for the people.

If you want to stimulate the economy, cut taxes and cut public sector salaries to parity with the taxpayers that ultimately pay their salary and pensions. It's IMMORAL that public sector workers enjoy greater prosperity than those in the private sector.

That's what is endemically wrong with this economy. Private sector risk taking is inhibited by public sector grifters.

Don't get me wrong.. There are VALID public sector jobs, many of them very dangerous. But for God's sake, we have cops making well over $100K per year in many cities and it's bankrupting the system.

But let's just end this with the understanding that Welfare DOES NOT create jobs to any greater degree than Small Business tax credits that would cost less and KEEP THOSE PEOPLE EMPLOYED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It's simple.. Taxpayer money spent for stimulative purposes needs to have an Return On Investment (ROI). Infrastructure.. Space Exploration... Creating the Internet, Materials and Energy Science.. etc.

We can't afford Welfare.. But WE CAN PROVIDE WORKFARE, so people retain their dignity, their work ethics, and the taxpayers get something in return.
