Democrats lying (as usual) about extension of unemployment benefits
As usual, the Left is lying about the extension of unemployment benefits to the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs. They are trying to use this sensitive issue as a cynical election year ploy to paint Republicans as horrible ogres who don’t care about people in need. We can’t really be surprised; we all remember the motto of the Obama administration – “a crisis is a terrible thing to waste.”
The Democrats (a.k.a. pathological liars) and their allies in the mainstream media have been pretty successful in claiming that Republicans don’t want to extend unemployment benefits. As we all know, the Republicans just want the benefits to be paid for by cutting other spending. When the Democrats rejected that common sense proposal, the Republicans suggested that the billions upon billions of unspent “stimulus” dollars be used; Democrats rejected that proposal as well. They actually claimed with a straight face that the “stimulus” is for creating new jobs.
The fact of the matter is that the stimulus has never been about creating jobs or quick-starting the economy. The stimulus has always been nothing more than an Obama/Democrat slush fund. The main reason that less than half of the $787 billion emergency stimulus has been spent is because Obama and the Democrats are saving it for the 2010 and 2012 elections. This October, a large chunk of that unspent stimulus cash will be released. It will go to big city Obama loyalists. It will be used as get out the vote money. It will be used to fund the extensive voter fraud that the Democrats are so known and loved for. It will be used to fool the ignorant masses into believing that Democrat policies are working.
Using this money (stimulus) to extend unemployment benefits without further adding to the deficit? Come on… that’s an outrageous idea that only racist Obama haters could possibly come up with!
Win or lose this November, another large chunk (a much larger one) will be spent in order to get Barack Hussein Obama reelected in 2012. All of the remaining stimulus money will suddenly be used up during the last six months before November 2012. They won’t leave one red cent in the stimulus piggybank!
Predictably, the Republican Party has been pretty ineffectual in getting the truth out about the Democrat’s shameless shenanigans. It’s all been left up to certain elements within Fox News and the alternative media to expose the truth about the politics being played with people’s unemployment benefits. I would wager a fortune that if people whose unemployment benefits are about to expire were polled on how best to extend the benefits, the vast majority would be for cutting other spending or using the stimulus money. Even many dummies probably realize that it will be harder to ever find a job if the deficit and national debt continues to expand at its current rate.
As always, the despicable liberals in the mainstream media are leaving out half the story in this debate. They are running interference for Obama and the Democrats. By doing this, they are hoping that they can turn the millions of unemployed and their families against the mean spirited Republicans, thus helping Democrats to keep control of the congress this November.
Shame on the Democrats and double shame on the media for exploiting this issue.
