New Jersey is not going to supply toilet paper anymore for those employed by them. How broke do you need to be to cut out toilet paper? Bring your own.

My college did not supply toilet paper to some dorms.

Thus, there was a huge issue of toilet paper theft from dorms with toilet paper and public restrooms.

I personally was happy to buy my own toilet paper because it's one of those things I'm particular about.

This post is just so ignorant I don't know where to begin. I bet you don't even know that last month the Democrats tried to pass pay as you go legislation and Republicans filibustered it. The reason? They didn't want to nor did they know how to pay for extending Bush's giant tax cuts and they didn't want to get stuck with pay go blocking it. Thus Republicans campaigned on paygo, claimed they'd support paygo, claim paygo means everything to them... And then they filibustered paygo and blocked it.

So please don't tell us about paygo and go ask your man-gods in the GOP why they killed paygo.

I know! This is seriously what bothers me about the GOP.

Let's oppose Obama extending unemployment benefits, which slightly increase the deficit (far less than 1%). BUT let's propose making the Bush tax cuts permanent, which have come at HUGE cost to government coffers.

Like... which party is the party of fiscal conservatism?

It was the Democrats idea to reinstate Pay-Go after they spent more money than has ever been spent in human history and for the obvious purpose of forcing tax increases. It's the Democrat's rule...they have to live up to it and pay for the extension or shut the fudge up!

And extending benefits has never in modern history been paid for when unemployment is this high.

So let's make that an issue now, for the very first time,

...

because... because... because... because it's an election year?

You should loosen your tin foil hat, I think it is cutting of the blood flow.

The employees will have to go down the street and steal paper from a restaurant. I can just see the arguments now, it will go from---"he doesn't wash his hands to he doesn't use toilet paper.

That is exactly right. The unemployed need jobs and needed jobs like yesterday. I don't know about the rest of the unemployed, but I want a JOB. Living off government assistance is the worst.

I know when the republicans had control, I had no trouble finding good paying jobs. Now I am applying for jobs at McDonalds and Pizza Hut because I don't want to be on unemployment.

sorry you are in a tough spot guy, but I do hope you see the irony in your post.

If you hate living off of government assistance. Then get off it. Instead of biting the hand that is feeding you.
