[QUOTE="804brown, post: 809459, member: 29553"] Incredible. We have high unemployment and they decide to lay off more people. So you have to pay them unemployment, they will not be paying taxes therefore LESS tax revenue collected, therefore a bigger deficit , therefore more lay offs, etc. That is not what FDR and the Dems did during the first Great Depression. They created jobs. They built things. They fixed things. The private sector (like now) was not creating jobs (even though they are sitting on $2 Trillion on cash) . So the government, at every level, primed the pump by putting people to work. And it worked. Obama had the opportunity in Jan 2009 to put forward a similar plan and he punted for a weak stimulus bill. And now at a time when we NEED government to step up , we have a very reactionary repub party in charge of Congress and most state houses and governors mansions whose goal is to UNDERMINE government at every level and try to privatize every service so their corporate masters can exploit it!
