The next big hit to the economy? | The Lookout - Yahoo! News

Unemployment benefits are a form of stimulus because the people receiving them generally MUST spend them. When they expire, profits will go down and our economy could falter again.

Just another redistribution scheme created by the state to purchase votes and slow the recovery.

Dependent sheep are obedient sheep.

This is how flawed our economy has become where UE would be considered a driver for holding the line or growth. Our country has a major imbalance when 72% of GDP is consumer spending.
