    "The $34 billion needed to extend benefits would be borrowed, adding to the nation's mounting debt. Republicans have tapped into the public's anger and concern over the national debt, saying they would support extending jobless benefits only if the bill was paid for."

    "Everyone agrees on extending the additional unemployment insurance, but the Democrat way is to insist we add it to the national debt at the same time, while blocking Republican efforts to pass the same extension without the debt," said Don Stewart, spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky."

    Yes the Republicans are using this to play politics and Americans are suffering.  At the same time it would be extremely easy for Odumbo to get the Republicans to follow along... if he would just fund the Bill.

    Obama is continually writing checks with a checkbook that has a negative balance... and who is going to pay for it?

    So his only "play" is to continually lie to the public, blame the Republicans for everything bad... that he is making worse, and pretend like he's doing something.

    Obama = FAIL

      Are you kidding.  Republicans want to cut taxes on the wealthy which also adds to the deficit and they still don't want to pay for it. 

      You get a bigger return on extending unemployment then it does with  cutting taxes for the rich.  What don't you understand?

      No jobs, no money, no spending, no export, no output.

        Wake up to the fact that Republicans are powerless to do anything, Get over the propaganda fed by Barak Obama and company.
        FUZZY MATH ????
        Here is the score card
        Bush and a Republican Congress 2000 to 2006   unemployment 4.6%
        Bush and a Democrat controlled Congress 2007 to 2008
        unemployment went from 4.6% to 6.5%
        Obama and a *super majority Democrat Congress 2009,2010
        unemployment now 9.5% plus in many areas of the country
        *Super majority =  result minority has 0 power to make legislation or approve legislation

        Obama appeared on (7/19/10 )  in the rose garden, told the public more half truths about the bill to extend unemployment benefits, closed the speech and walked off the dais without giving answers to questions from the media. wonder why ?

        President Barak Obama again brought up how and what he inherited from the previous administration. Some how he forgets that the Democrat party was in control (he was a member of the Senate too ) of the economy for Bush’s last 2 years ( not 4 years ). Obama spoke of the Bush tax cuts that are due to expire this year saying that the Republicans want to extend them. That’s another fallacy by this president, the minority Republicans have 0 control over the tax cuts hence to keep them or let them expire is totally the responsibility of President Barak Obama and the majority ( can pass all legislation without the need for a Republican vote ) Democrat Congress.
        Note, if Obama allows the Bush tax cuts to expire he will break another campaign promise not to raise taxes on the middle class. It’s a pity that our president can’t stand on his own record of arrogance, inexperience and ineptness.
        2/13/10 2:04 PM EST ( NOTE THE DATE )
        President Barack Obama is hailing pay-as-you-go budget legislation he SIGNED Friday night as one in a series of crucial steps needed to snap Washington out of a destructive pattern of overspending.
        “Now, Congress will have to pay for what it spends, just like everybody else,” Obama said in his radio and Internet address released Saturday
        morning. “After a decade of profligacy, the American people are tired of politicians who talk the talk but don’t walk the walk when it comes to fiscal responsibility. It’s easy to get up in front of the cameras and rant against exploding deficits. What’s hard is actually getting deficits under control. But that’s what WE MUST DO
        Let’s not forget that the Democrats took majority control of Congress in 2007 with Obama in the senate. In 2008 the Democrat Congress passed the bank bail out bill with Obama’s yes vote. 4 years and the nation is still waiting for the jobs, it is apparent that government wasteful spending don‘t produce jobs
        President Obama‘s stimulus bill started out at $727 billion and today it‘s up to $825 billion ( all borrowed money .) Today only $425billion has been spent  on saving public government jobs. Unemployment is 9.5%.
        One must wonder why so little of the stimulus money has been spent. Why isn’t the money being used to help the unemployed using the surplus stimulus money. The democrats and president Obama wants the extension of unemployment benefits to pass, but refuse to offset costs ( $33 billion) by using unspent stimulus funds.. They say one thing and hide doing just the opposite by borrowing more money, further enlarging the national debt.  Wake up America before we will go like Greece.
        Guaranteed that the mainstream is not reporting.

        Trickle down economics?  So why did it not work under Reagan and the bushes?   Oh yeah, it didn't kick in until Clinton took office!  Yeah, right!

        It didn't take Dubya long at all to get rid of the surplus Clinton left.  Over 90% of it went to the extremely wealthy.  How did that turn out?  How did our economy do under those presidents using the "give more money to the rich and the little guys will do well" theory? 

        The royalty in the Old World never let their cash trickle down to the peasants and neither will the rich in America.  Now they just invest it in other countries.  Isn't that one of the reasons our forefathers came to America?  To not be under the thumbs of rich men who controlled everything? 

        I think the figures are, less than 10% of the population controls over 90% of the wealth. And it gets worse every year. So what happens when a few people have all of the cash?  Royalty again?  What will you be, Jim?  A prince or a frog?

      No, it isn't right. They may be violating the law which requires them to certify every two weeks that they are available and seeking work. I spend a lot of time assisting applicants for unemployment benefits, and my impression is that your friends are exceptions not the rule. Nearly all of the people I've encountered would greatly prefer finding a job to remaining on unemployment benefits.

    The point is that Obama refuses to FUND the Bill.

    So FUND it and pass it and help people.

    Continually writing checks from a bank account that has a negative balance is a disaster.

    So again... quit blaming the Republicans for the hold up... they said they would PASS the bill... if he will just fund it.

    That's it.

    How long can this country survive if every solution out of Team Obama is to open up the Check Book and write another check with nothing to back it up?

    There will always be some who take advantage of a situation, but this is strange times especially when  2 million people will get their unemployment cut in the face of no jobs.

    The Dems passed legislation to pay as they go for bills they pass, but they do not want to pay for extending unemployment, even thought it could be funded with some of the Stimulus money.  The Rep's are accused of not caring for these people, but what they are trying to do is to pass a stand alone bill to extend unemployment, with no more pork, funded from the stimulus.  It's sad that politics are playing with people's lives.

              Extending unemployment benefit eligibility is "seeming like they are helping the unemployed." You wouldn't say that if you were unemployed. Moreover, it's looking like the size of the government stimulus was insufficient to do the job. More and more it's looking like we are in for a double dip recession.

          I want the rich to have spending money too.

          My friends lay down asphalt and build pools and decks and redo roofs and add additions to houses.  This money is then spent on their families to also Stimulate the economy.

    Auto industry payback may surprise U.S. taxpayers

    WASHINGTON -- Saving Detroit's auto industry may be a better deal for U.S. taxpayers than anyone expected.

    A Free Press analysis suggests that taxpayers could get back about $74 billion of the $86 billion the government made available in 2008 and 2009 to save General Motors, Chrysler and Ally Financial, the former GMAC.

    So far, the industry has paid the government $18.3 billion in debt, interest and dividends, and the prospects for payback have improved thanks to a rebound in vehicle sales and profits at the three companies. That includes the $1.5 billion Chrysler Financial has paid off and a $5-billion aid plan for suppliers that turned a profit.

    Although no independent analysis has found that the government could break even, GM, Chrysler and Ally have promised to try to pay back the U.S. Treasury entirely.

    The reduced losses still would leave the auto industry efforts more costly than the rescues of Wall Street and the banking industry, which are turning a profit for the U.S. Treasury.

    But even with a slower recovery, a successful GM stock sale and profits at Chrysler and Ally could help lift public anger at the industry and the Obama administration's rescues.

    "The prospects have modestly exceeded expectations," said David Sowerby, chief market analyst at Loomis Sayles & Co. "The outcome, due to the health of the patient, has made the doctor look better."

    Here's what Nouriel Roubini, the NYU economics professor who called the meltdown months in advance had to say today. Alarming.

    RGE's Q3 2010 Global Economic Outlook Update

    The second half of our “Year of Two Halves” is already here: Signals of a global macroeconomic slowdown have become more widespread. In our Q3 2010 Global Economic Outlook Update, we examine trends in economic statistics, financial policy and politics, with chapters for specific countries and regions and a macro forecast table outlining our GDP and CPI projections. We maintain a central scenario that entails a sluggish (U-shaped) recovery in much of the advanced world with possible risks of L-shaped recoveries in Japan and the eurozone. We are still in a multi-speed recovery that makes macroeconomic policy coordination challenging. The recovery continues to be stronger in the emerging world, although these markets will still be affected negatively by the slowdown and the structural adjustments that take place in the advanced economies.

    Yeah, there were quite a large number of voters who were dumb enough to fall for that line.

    This post might be one of the most ignorant I have seen lately. Do you even pay attention to the news or read a paper? Mitch McConnell was one of the very people threatening filibuster to stop extending the unemployment benefits. Do you even have a clue how this works? We don't live in a monarchy. Congress had to approve the extension. What a joke you are.

    And oh yeah, let's not forget that healthcare bomb that he now truthfully calls a tax is coming due within the next few months. Merry F Chrismas!

    What type of jobs is the Green Energy Bill going to provide?  Is it going to provide jobs to people who are unemployed with no college degree?

      sandra rinckposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Yes, both. Think along the lines of factory jobs like Ford and entry level sales and construction and advertising.  Right now, it seems like you have to have a college degree to get a job because jobs are scarce.  We have to give it a chance.  It is better than nothing and continued unemployment.
