The latest Democratic doublespeak is that "unemployment (insurance) stimulates the economy. So under this bizzarroland economic theory the best economy would be one with a 100% unemployment rate.
Moreove why is Obama bragging about "lowering" unemployment to 8.3%, isn't a decrease bad? Wont it lead to higher unemployment?

Here's one from that far-left organization Moody's.
U.S. Macro Outlook: Compromise Boosts Stimulus
doc what it says is;
Of the package's provisions, extending unemployment insurance benefits provides the biggest economic bang for the buck.
now, as compared to? what? what is IN the package.......
The article is from a year and a half ago, and it's on the specifics of the 2010 tax compromises, which is what the "package" refers to. I'm not arguing that.
The ONLY point that I'm making is that it's not a "ridiculous claim" to think that providing UI for unemployed is more stimulative to the economy than NOT providing it.
Turning formerly working people into indigents isn't going to solve our economic woes, either.
Austerity is NOT the solution to this economy.
And the failure of that theory is ALREADY evident in GREECE, incidently.
Their AUSTERITY plan is shrinking (not growing) Greece's economy.
Greece's GDP fell 7% last year.
It does "stimulate" the economy more than giving more money to already rich people.
Neither one really stimulates the economy though.

OMG.... already rich people?

High Unemployment is 'Good' now. Man, Obama-Bot programming gets crazier by the day. And funnier too.

I really don't think it's funny. This was a test to see how totally mindless and under control Obama minions are and it's really frightening to think that NONE of them even question something so stupid as "unemployment stimulates the economy"
If Obama told them that jumping out of windows and landing on Republicans would help win the election they'd race each other to the roof
Unemployment stimulates the economy
Unemployment stimulates the economy
Unemployment stimulates the economy

See, just because you don't understand something, doesn't mean it's wrong or nonsensical. So I'll explain using small words.
If someone is unemployed, they have no income. If they have no income, they can't spend it, which means other businesses and people don't get income which means more people get laid off. No it's not really that simple, but that's the basics.
But if the unemployed receive UI bfnefits, it not only helps them, but also puts money into the economy.
Obviously that's not a good idea in the long run, but as a short run minimization it certainly works.

Slippery Slope Fallacy
This logical fallacy is the argument that a position is not consistent or tenable because accepting the position means that the extreme of the position must also be accepted. But moderate positions do not necessarily lead down the slippery slope to the extreme.
