He's completely correct. Imagine if a republican said that unemployment checks stimulate the economy (Pelosi)?

I only hope that the republicans have the guts to block the progressive agenda.

Agreed. We have to hold them accountable. IF they get co-opted by the incumbents, then we have to vote all of them out and start over again. Reset time!!

I think not enough Americans understand that the Fed is devaluing our currency. They are trying to prop up the economy by doing stuff that has NEVER WORKED. Please google Weimar republic and Zimbabwe.

I believe in the Weimar republic German people were bringing wheelbarrels full of Deutschmarks to buy groceries because the currecy had been so inflated by their own government!!

What a classy guy. Imagine if Nancy Pelosi made a comment like that; right-wingers would be howling for days. Of course, she never would say anything like that. The difference in character between Pelosi and Boehner is like night and day.
Pelosi says that unemployment benefits create jobs.
Of the healthcare bill, Pelosi said they had to pass the bill to know what's in it.

She's no better.

The CBO actually backs Pelosi up with unemployment benefits creating jobs. As they said that increasing unemployment aid will boost demand the quickest because those who get unemployment benefits will spend it the quickest and the boosted demand boosts the economy and jobs.

Maybe it's just disgust with the Bible thumping self-Righteous who conveniently forget things like Timothy 6:10.
