Obama Tells Dems He'll Oppose Tax Cut Deal Without Unemployment Benefits, Other Relief
My CINC putting his foot down and making the Repugs work and fulfill their end of the bargain to take care of all Americans and not just the wealthy, this is why I voted for him.

So much for bipartisanship and working with the other side.
Not that anyone realistically expected this poseur of a president to do otherwise. He is politically inept, economically illiterate, and socially flawed.
Extending unemployment benefits beyond the already 99 weeks is not "taking care" of anyone. It is making a permanent entitlement not to work. With 9.8% unemployment, unprecedented at this stage of any recovery, one would think Obama would be looking for a game changer rather than more of the same.
If its not the govs job to take care of anyone then they shouldnt mind unemplyment, its paid for by the employee during their working life.
If the person was not creating profit the employer would not have them there.
When an employer calculates the cost of a worker this is calculated in. The worker is the one producing the funds to pay the cost for the employer.
One of the arguments against unemployment insurance was that it was funds the employee would have gotten to take home.
No employee no unemployment fund huh.

It is not the role of Government to 'take care of' anyone. You voted for him because you're an idiot who doesn't understand the Constitution that you are sworn to defend.... which is not surprising since you actually think you're 'defending Americans'.
I'm seriously considering supporting Palin for President.... just so I can watch your head explode when she becomes your CINC. That would be some funny shit.
How much will it cost the government to extend unemployment benefits?
How much tax revenue will be as a result of the Bush II tax cuts for billionaires being extended?
Do any of us know?
I don't.
But what I do know is that in both cases, the government will have to BORROW MONEY to pay for BOTH plans.
And one plan, the Republican, will cost some amount.
And the other plan, the Democratic, will cost some amount.
Perhaps it would aid us in evaluating these two plans (that might become part of one compromise) to actually KNOW how much each will cost.
Or are we entirely happy just spewing insults at each other and do we feel that have no need to fully understand what we are talking really about?
Which plan will actually channel productive resources into the economy so it will start to grow?
Which plan pays to keep valuable resources (labor) off the market?
That's pretty much all you need to ask here.
So, in your opinion, Rab, one doesn't need to KNOW what a policy will cost to decide its efficacy?
That tired old cost/return ratio business is entirely a waste of our time?
Interesting POV coming from somebody who touts his business acumen.
Please remind me...how did you get so rich again?
Were you in the inheritance business or did you stumble onto a gold mine?

Where do you get such misinformation. Employees do not pay for unemployment insurance.
Damn you lie alot.

So much for bipartisanship? The Republicans want all the budget busting tax cuts extended. The Democrats want UE extended.
If the Democrats agreed to extend the taxcuts with no UE extension, what exactly are the Republicans doing in the name of 'bipartisanship'?

It's factored in when a potential employee is considered for employment since it is a government mandate. And is payed for by the employer.

Employees do not pay for it. It is a cost of doing business, Now I can charge the employees with part of the workmans comp that is collected, but not for unemployment.

What's the big deal of extending unemployment? It's simply a case of circumstances demanding more than we anticipated. That happens all the time and conservatives don't throw a fit. It happens in cost overruns for weapons systems all the time and you certainly don't hear the right crying about that.

Like everything, employees ultimately pay for it. If you didnt pay it as a cost of employing them you might offer them more money.

When I started my business my rate was 35 cents an hour I managed to get it reduced to 15, now with the recent economic developments I am at 65 cents an hour.
It would not have affected what I pay at all.
The employees do not pay for it. If you want to prove the argument produce a pay stub showing they paid it. Other wise it is nothing more then an expense just like the phone bill.
