    Funny......I always thought it was tax cuts for businesses but I guess hundreds of economists could be wrong...

    Pelosi probably thinks unemployment checks are unlimited like the government and personal credit cards she uses.

    Pelosi is so obtuse she complained about the sharp edges on the cue ball.

    Actually, economists on the right and left tend to agree and have argued for extension of unemployment benefits multiple times over the past 18 months or so. 100% of unemployment check money goes to buying things from businesses, which is the essence of what creates jobs.

    Tax cuts for businesses only create jobs if there's excess demand not being served. That isn't the case right now where there's a demand problem. You give a tax cut to your local restaurant or dry cleaner and they are just going to pocket the money. There's no reason to expand if they can already handle all their potential customers.

    It's pretty straightforward economics.

    The better question is why do you? If you loved our land with the same passion that we do, you would champion dissent as much with a liberal in office as with a conservative in office. Just as you were free to rail against Bush and his minions, allow us the same freedom to rail against Obama and his minions.

    If you had a valid reason to rail against Obama you might have a point.

    Remember that one time you supported the president no matter what, then November 4, 2008 happened? Why do you hate America?

    No one has said he was perfect, but if you have a valid criticism that should be addressed that isn't some crazy conspiracy theory that only is reported on Fox news and your email list, let's have it.

    Have a great 4th of July weekend thumbs!

    Given a choice, more economists prefer keeping unemployment benefits during a downturn than tax cuts for businesses. The underlying reason is that the poor and unemployed are more likely to spend their money than save it.

    If thumbs and oddson had their way, they'd make Palin in charge and have stupidity drive this country into the ground then blame the "liberal" media for causing it.
