If that's right then heck let's extend it for 10 years and watch job creation really soar!
Of course you cannot prove that extending or ending UI will have any effect on jobs.
Ya gotta love the left... paying to people to not work creates prosperity.
You gotta love the right. Nothing ever counter-intuitive penetrates their skull.

Given that you're the guy who wants child labor to be legal again, I'd say the burden of proof is on you to justify anyone taking your views on economics seriously.

They must have used the Christina Romer's New New Math which showed that the Stimulus would keep unemployment below 8%.
No one wants to disagree with this?
Why would they?
It's the truth. But then they will bitch that their mail is coming to slow...or the lines at the DMV are to long..
Two and two never equals four in the minds of conservatives.
But they also claim the conservative economic agenda is the right formula for creating jobs.
I realize in your little leftist world jobs are like Old Master paintings: there are only a limited number of them.
But in the real world, beyond Eurosclerosis, there are an infinite number of jobs over any given time period. I realize that concept is probably way beyond you so don't bother responding.

Time for me to move on...can't handle talking to dumb fucks....
The link did just that.
Sorry you have trouble reading and responding appropriately. Maybe Ritalin would help?
Sorry, no, it was some weak opinion piece that couldn't even avoid refuting its own contentions.
Stop insulting our intelligence. This is an adult forum.
Told ya.
You can't counter the message so you attack the messenger.
The piece in fact substantiated, and made clear the issue is well known, my contention that UE insurance actually causes UE.
When you couldn't refute that, you took some unrelated piece and pretended it was the issue under discussion.
When that didnt work you tried to impugn the source.
You are truly a worthless and ugly troll. Now go back under the bridge.

In order to prove that extending UE causes UE:
1. You have to show that a period of unemployment where UE extension was passed was LONGER than a comparable period of UE where UE extension was not passed,
and you then have to
2. show that the UE extension itself, and no other extraneous factors of any kind,
CAUSED the relatively longer period of unemployment, in order to prove that the comparisons were comparable.
That would be proof of cause and effect. Your link did nothing of the sort.
And of ccourse you can't prove causality so none of it is provable. In your small mind anyway.
The economics on this issue is well understood and well agreed on. Except by Leftist illiterates like you.
Extend the Bush era tax cuts indefinitely.
Extend unemployment benefits for 16 weeks... to be paid for from repaid stimulus funds
then... get the hell out of the way and let the private sector grow the economy.
The only two people who believe that unemployment benefits will grow the economy are Obama and Pelosi... and he believes it only because she told him so. Pelosi is drunk with power and Obama is a dunce when it comes to economics and fiscal responsibility.
Rabbi, you DO realize that there are conservatives on unemployment...not just liberals.
So by your own logic, you're calling conservatives lazy bastards for taking the benefits.
I really wish conservatives would get angry when one of their own spews shit like this...and realized that it doesnt comport with R~E~A~L~!~T~Y
Huh?
This isn't about conservatives or liberals on unemployment. It is about an unemployment insurance policy that encourages unemployment and contributes to the problem rather than solving it.
...which no one can prove happens.
This coming from an idiot who supports a party that has said its sole intention is to remove Obama from office in 2012 without expressing any true intention of helping the American people as well as drafting a plan to block every bill proposed by Democrats, don't even talk that bipartisanship talk.
There is absolutely no support for the idea that people receiving unemployment benefits don't want to work, thats typical Republitard political claptrap than cannot be proven, yet is frequently spewed. If unemployment was shrinking and these people still didn't have a job you might be able to make such an argument but with it rising its even more retarded to make the argument that these people are lazy.
The claim that in 99 weeks "anyone can find a job" isn't necessarily true either. The thinking that a person with an engineering degree and 20 years of experience can apply at McDonalds and get hired is ludicrous. That employer would KNOW the person would be out the door as soon as something better came along, and would hire the person who would stay awhile. Hello?
Then there are positions advertised that result in hundreds of people applying for ONE job. The Idiot Brigade is alive and well as long as there is still the irrational thinking of morons like Rabbi who thinks he sounds brilliant by lumping several million unemployed people into his neat little box.
I've never known anyone in my 50 years who was unemployed for nearly 2 fucking years that didn't want tyo be unemployed nearly 2 fucking years.
Ya gotta love the left... paying to people to not work creates prosperity.
Aww those poor unemployed people, sitting year after year living off the dole. We ought to feel bad for them as we give them money month after month. I guess money isn't enough anymore. They need a hug too.
Hey, here's a newsflash: No one is responsible to pay your bills except you. Now get off your fat lazy ass and go get a job.
You are beyond stupid...you do realise there is something like one job for every five people at the moment (if not more)... IOW - I'll say it real slow for you - Even if EVERY person on the 'dole' wants a job there isn't one for them. Understand? Prolly not, because you're dumb as a post.
You didn't even address my point. You are so stupid you think Unemployed = Lazy...it doesn't...

...fill out applications while waiting in line Wednesday at the Olive Garden restaurant in Bend. They were among about 700 people who applied for some 165 full- and part-time jobs.

Rich people make all sorts of money not working, and you people think the rich are your only hope for prosperity.
You gotta love the right. Nothing ever counter-intuitive penetrates their skull.
Yes, in the 1984 world of the Left everything is counterintuitive. So UE benefits boost the economy while cutting the deficit costs jobs.
Where do they teach this stuff??
