When asked about what lawmakers should do about poverty. He replied with:
"I think this idea thatās been born over last ... couple of years that, āYou know, I really donāt have to work, I donāt really want to do this, I think Iād just rather sit around,ā ā this is a very sick idea for our country."
He is only further alienating the poor and the left. This kind of rhetoric is why republicans have a 75% disapproval rating. Does he really expect that to change? He is only preaching to the choir when it comes to his small minority of supporters. He isn't going to change anyone's minds with crap like this. Most Americans already favor extending unemployment benefits. I just don't understand how republicans could be so stupid. Does he really think this is going to boost republican approval ratings? It's such non sense. I don't understand how someone this moronic made it to the position he is in.
It only makes it worse how wrong he is.

Maybe the US has some of those. The phrase ācouch potatoā caught on here in America, after all. But many economists say the fundamental challenge remains how to generate stronger growth in jobs and wages (the issue Boehner had focused on in his prepared remarks), not a declining willingness among Americans to work.
Boehner says unemployed don t really want jobs. How bad a gaffe for GOP
