Pelosi’s delusional moment

Speaker Pelosi has never been one to shy away from outrageous and
illogical
comments, some to the point where it seems like she just rolled out of
bed and
decided she was going to say the first thing on her mind.

However, when Pelosi recently suggested that she
wanted to extend unemployment
benefits in an attempt to stimulate job growth, she had me doubtfully
re-reading her comments to see if I had them right.
 
Is the Speaker really hoping that people will take their unemployment checks
and spend money with them? There’s no doubt that people getting an unemployment
check is more beneficial to the economy than not having a check at all. But
does our nation really want an economy that is artificially propped up by a
government program that essentially siphoned tax dollars from hardworking
Americans?
 
I have to imagine no one on the Speaker’s staff bothered to contact any experts
on this statement. Ask any behavioral economist about this policy idea and
they’ll tell you it can’t be sustained and is terrible policy. Smaller checks
with inherent disincentives to work and somehow that will stimulate job growth?
For whom?
 
The only job growth Pelosi’s idea seems to help stimulate is her own. I reckon
Pelosi and the Democrats feel they can’t possibly turn this economy around in
time for November’s elections, so they’ll just throw more money at them in
hopes the masses will continue to be confused and numb to their poor-minded
ways.
 
Does anyone not see this charade for what it is? Why would anyone go out and
pursue a job when they can just sit at home and collect benefits? If
America is to maintain its economic dominance in the world we must recapture the
can-do spirit instead of the “what can you do for me” spirit.
