DeLay- Unemployment Benefits Keep People From Looking For Jobs

[1dschamp]

Americans have to be the most retarded people in the world to vote for maniacs like this.

[Riverstone70]

If you people are really so pissed off about this where were you when the votes went in? Why wasn't there an UNEMPLOYED PARTY VOTE! Our government; has paid of the Auto industry for making mistakes, as well as the Airline Industry, the Banking Industry, all of which made monumental mistakes; and now that the American People are on the verge of being put on the streets you expect compassion from those that put you there! Eventually there will be an uprising against Aristocracy!

[anthonym267]

I dont know of ANYONE on unemployment who DOESN'T want a job RIGHT NOW. They are bored to tears and it strains their dignity to even accept the money, but have no choice but to.

Fuck off Delay, Sharon Angle, Tea Partiers.

[Wintermute01001]

It doesn't matter how painful unemployment is. People are not going to get jobs that don't exist.

[hanamid]

fuck you  yiu cocksucker I've been searching for a job for 20 years and none of them have hired me at all so its not always the unemployed person fault, and fuck every american that disagrees with this comment the goverment can suck my vagina

[MrCurtishay]

This applies to those who are only offered jobs paying subsistence level wages. Common sense and logic tells you that when offered a choice to either earn low pay in employment and sacrifice your time, or receive low pay via the UIA benefit and not have to, any reasonable person will opt to DeLay (pun intended) their re-entry into the workplace until the benefits expire. The relative advantage to working is the incentive of substancial pay.

[bar730]

You gotto love leaches on the state like Tom Delay calling people leaches on the state.....And why the hell in this man still not in prison WTF?

[greenhell666]

and people vote for this a**h*les

[mezansky]

tom is a idiot

[anthonym267]

I don't know of ANYONE who stopped looking for a job because they were on unemployment. many of whiched i mentioned are conservitives.

[loonmaniac]

(Penis)

[MrGnarus]

why is this criminal still on TV ?

[saltythebear]

youre hardly a rep. for the 'real world' Mr. DeLay

You're a congressman, not to mention the rest of your past- dancing with the stars for christs sake

[ekkeman]

There are not jobs. The right has successfully hollowed out the middle class, and shipped those jobs overseas.

I agree. The right has spent 9 of the last 10 years driving American into a "greed is good, get on the spending treadmill" mantra. They loose the election because the are xenophobic idealoges who sped up the debt. Then, as soon as Obama gets elected, the find "Jesus" about the debt.

[hiiamrick]

That is a good one my friend, "they find Jesus about the debt". Hey when they were in power and paying for two wars with tax cuts for the rich, everything was fine and dandy. Now suddenly when a President wants to help Americans with American tax dollars we are too poor. Just let them find another multibillion dollar weapon, they would find a way to buy that. The weapon unlike American people would even have it's own lobbyist.

[DeezzINyurMOUTH420]

all of you people need to realize that were coming into a war on us soil

stock your guns and water

and learn some survival skills

because what this is coming down to is going to take a long time of fighting to fix

get ready people

we made america

and we all knew we would have to fight to keep it at some point

[boots920]

How many Patriots got used used up in the sandbox wars ?

Pretty sad eh the government uses the Patriots like Bic lighters. Don't know why the American TAXPAYER puts up with the Bull Dung.

[hiiamrick]

The only fighting I see in American is Americans taking America back from the richest 1%. The richest 1% better start pumping jobs back into America. Remember the French Revolution? When we start being hungry all the division between Americans will fade and we will know who the real enemy is. No Muslin bankrupted America, you did. All the Congressmen and women you bought won't even be able to help you then.

[boots920]

What I see is 0 civilization to worry about , once the fiat money system (collapsed in 2008) makes that final adjustment of 0 value billions of people will starve to death.

No way to keep people feed without sound money. Sure there's people preparing but you can't prepare for the end of civilization.

[hiiamrick]

If this is true then I plan to raid an old folks home for the knowledge that people had before Wal-mart and Kroger. You know the ones that raised their own animals and planted their own crops.

[boots920]

If this is true - price of gold in world reserve Fed Reserves Notes proves this observation. No way of doing exchange for food or any other consumer good without sound money.

How many people have that knowledge 5% of the world's population ?

You don't need too much of a social structure or infrastructure if the planet becomes depopulated by 2/3 rd's.

The American people are finished and they still do nothing.

[Seldona]

Republican politicians like this criminal are the main reason Americans can't find jobs in the first place.

I can picture him walking around the Marianas Islands, where slave labor, including children, are locked into factories with DORMITORIES. There have even been reports of forced abortions.

These are his buddies.

Yet you and your buddies made sure everything made there can have the "Made In The USA" label. I think that is their eventual goal, to bring the third world here.

[hiiamrick]

"Republican politicians like this criminal are the main reason Americans can't find jobs in the first place".

I don't agree with you my friend. The main reason is that America uses it's best minds to make money with money. Instead of inventing things and producing what we invent.

America is responsible for some of the worlds greatest invention, what have we invented lately?

[Tmc39]

delay talking about the real world?

[2bRealist]

LMAO hahahahha..

thats republicans for you... aren't they funny =]

[bazodee2]

ppl without unemployment benefits end up on the streets with a drug/alcohol addiction and are therefore permanently outside of the labour force.

[thegreenskies]

false.. what this guy is saying is a duh.

[kargenlewis]

blah blah blah. if your fooled by old bush politics then f you!

why dont republicans take responsibility for helping bush murder millions and destroying america? clinging to the fact that there are some corrupt dems doesnt justify anything and i wonder how u fukn sleep at night. fuk you republicans pigs!

[TauralsTravels]

love how Candy rolls her eyes just abit here

[j0hnwi11iams]

People in the real world wish Tom Delay would stop projecting his lack of ethics on society at large. Amazing how these god waving scumbags have so little faith in humanity.

[frostwolf1]

Not like there's a lot of jobs out there for these people to look for atm, Tom....

Considering that the wages you're paid usually only make up a small percentage of the profits you bring to a company, the least the employer can do is pay a little for your unemployment benefits, especially when they laid you off in the first place.

[njcarlos1]

...because you have a right to work there and they have an obligation to employ you!

ROFL. That's a good one.

[hossboss96]

ya? there are some studies that have been done?

[fractalbuddha]

@hossboss96 Yes, they were done in the real world.

[PVTSolis]

Someone please gas Tom Delay.

[TVFOGGED]

or shoot him

[ipxzor]

Mr Delay how many jobs are there out there where NO ONE APPLIES. That is the perfect world you imagine with this nonsense.

Once you see such a huge demand for workers that job vacancies go unanswered then you will get real statistics on the willfully unemployed.

[deathweaselx86]

Dear Tom De Lay, you are an asshole. Please die in a fire.

[animeownage86]

I think too many people confuse "racist" with "stereotype" ok, not only that but most people don't give a shit about what's going on in the world they only care about themselves and how things effect them. So for dumb uneducated fools that meant that a puppet who's not even from this country was elected only because his lies sounded more appealing then the other guy's and for those who didn't follow the bullshit propaganda they voted just because of skin color and THAT is racist AND un-American.

[crumbtrey]

All these right-wing Christian politicians are such hard-asses. Michelle Bachmann want to do away with Medicare and Social Security. Then when people suffer from a lack of these programs they'll say, "Oh! the Lord is punishing us". They have no regard for ordinary, everyday Americans.

[animeownage86]

You do know that social security was invented not for us but so that we the american people could pay off the debt our asshole leaders back then owed to the Federal Reserve?

[missmarie273]

Just another jackass politician

[xxxFaustusxxx]

Another old white rich republican out of touch with America.

[wmg111]

When was the last time that reptile lived in the real world?

Oh right, Dancing With Stars. It did look like the desperate act of a man with nothing left to lose.

[chimab]

Why does the Media constantly put those who are facing Felony Indictments on TV and give the the appearance of any credibility?

[HieiYYH2]

This is bullshit, I have been looking for jobs since I got laid off.  So fuck off Tom Delay

[doink1422]

douche bag!!

[sugarpill001]

yeah, you're in the real world

[Boomer1949]

I'm not a fan in any way of this scum bag but he's right on this point.

[CynicalSavior]

No doubt that there are SOME people that abuse government assistance but that is no justification to fuck over the many MORE people that actually need help.

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

Everyone should be on welfare, and we should only give our welfare money to other people on welfare, so that we start up a whole new economy, independent of these fucking assholes who monopolize everything and pay us pathetic wages.

They can have fun trading their hypothetical money on Wall St. until it all runs out and they end up homeless.

[jjrglobal]

@IAMtheNewWorldOrder

Why didn't I think of that, fuckin brilliant. We could all be on welfare and start our own economy. You must teach economics at Columbia, am I right?

[IAMtheNewWorldOrder]

If this asshole had his way, they'd just keep making the economy worse & worse until we felt lucky to have a fucking $2/hr job.

I'm starting to think that's what the whole point of recessions is: Make it so hard to get a job that people feel lucky getting some piece of shit job, keep doing it until we're all basically slaves.

Listen corporate America-either stop monopolizing shit so we can start our own businesses, or pay us a fair fucking WAGE! I'm about to get welfare just to spite them.

[animeownage86]

The problem is that both democratic and republican supporters are right about Unemployment Benefits the thing is that they think in extremes like everyone needs it or nobody does. Someone who lost there job threw no fault of there own that is actively searching for a job is deserving of it but some greenhorn with 20 kids from 20 fathers that doesn't speak English and has no intention of ever learning or getting a job doesn't.

[swisshakilla]

thats a very racist statement. on average minorities and immigrants work harder for less, and illegal immigrants can't even claim unemployment. you know nothing about the work ethics of those who are willing to do jobs that have to be done, for far less than the average american would do it for. they do take it to the extreme, but you took it farther.

[animeownage86]

Please not that tiered old argument again... "racist" is a word that is all too often thrown around by fools that are too blinded to see the truth and can't justify the harsh realty of things in this country. While there are some illegals in this country that try to adapt, learn English, and get jobs they work hard at most are criminal scum who do nothing but mooch off the system and fill our streets with gangs, guns, and drugs and THAT is the harsh realty. I am NOT racist am just not blind.

[swisshakilla]

Its funny how u addresed my in-dept comment with unsubstantiated statistics Im curious, where do u get ur stats? I see u cant spell very well, so I think its safe to say u arent intelligent enough to use spell check let alone read national stats The fact is most immigrants are law abiding The U.S prison system is populated with over 97% Americans How are illegals accounting for only 3% of convicted felons when according to u most are felons? The harsh reality is that u have warped racist views

[PersonalJesus348]

they keep us from starving

[kaysandesses]

I see "boots" is off his med's again.

[boots920]

No just reading the rule of law again the USA is finished its turning into a 3rd world shit hole with the taxpayers waving the flag.

[hiiamrick]

And the richest 1% sail away in their multi billion dollar yatchs. Leaving the rest of Americans fighting over the scraps that they leave behind. Just remember they will leave all those bought off Congressmen and women behind. I bet all the lobbyist money paid for their votes won't be able to help their asses then.

[mintvagoo]

DeLay will be the next conservative caught with male prostitute.

[jamesmaseobrown]

It's easy for DeLay to sit there and make these claims. I've seen and heard conseratives make claims of kindergarden children being taught how to perform oral sex and masterbation.

[walkwizzy]

Under this guys logic, Doctors should leave sick people alone & NEVER give CPR. People have heart attacks on purpose beacuse they're to lazy to breath on their own

[JerezJulio]

This is what the republican will give the people. Nothing. Aparently the Tea Baggers like that.

And why it is that this criminal is in TV? he should be in a Federal prison?

[Srfingfreak]

There's an argument to be made that Tom DeLay is a flaming homesexual satanist who performs abortions in the back of a van. There's some studies that have been done that show that not all his time is accounted for and he could be doing this when we don't know where it is. It's a hard sell to make, but there are some real people that know the truth and really know it.

Jackass.

[BlackKingX]

Actually. This might be true for SOME people. But the problem is, it isn't true for everyone. Some people seriously can't get a job no matter how hard they try, and "unemployment benefits" are the only thing keeping them from - quite frankly - death.

[BlackKingX]

Maybe people on welfare need to account for every dollar they spend of it.

[greyflcn]

"No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts;"

Really though.

"No state shall coin money"

How can gold and silver be "Money" if states can coin gold and silver. But they can't coin money.

[Bolgernow]

"What you "lazy people" don't understand is that when you ain't got no job, try money laundering like I did...

Then get indicted...twice"

Tom Delay took an IQ test & they said his results were negative...

[toyracers]

lmao... i have to admit, that takes a lot of political balls to say...

[MexicanMetlAC]

That's true. Hopefully a lot of people see this. It may be true of some but is certainly not true of all.

[Richardgwm]

DeLay talking about "the real world"????

HILARIOUS

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

DeLay would be the first in line to get an unemployment check.

[TrollBuster9090]

Given that not one of these macho "boot-strap" politicians has ever volunteered to give his massive Congressional pension back to the Treasury, I think you're right.

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Another think about Tom DeLay, it's all in his name "DELAY", that would be delay helping the working man, but rush to the aid of the rich...he's a total prick.

[baronmorris]

is that fat clueless turd even still in office?

if not, then who the hell even cares?

diversionary tactics.

[yellowgroove]

Thats exactly what someone i know is doing.. here you are required to be an active job seeker while collecting, so he leaves his applications only half filled out on purpose and even told me he'd rather sit on his ass collecting checks than go back to his previous crappy job... he isn't even trying anymore, and gets like a full year of unemployment checks but he only worked for less than a month.. he pisses me off since i have to work, he always comes out smelling like a rose some how.

[deathweaselx86]

Exception, not the rule. Most people can't even cover bills on unemployment. :-( Go smack some sense into that loser for playing the system.

[z5d3]

MORON!

[texkit1]

How about people stay longer on unemployment because they can't find a job or that can't find a job that pays them more than unemployment does. People do have rent or house notes to pay...food to buy.

News media stop talking to this guy. He is an idiot and all of us in the real world know it.

[voyeurdug]

"Some (unspecified) studies" - that's convenient. "Some studies" indicate I deserve to get $millions per year because I've purchased a few lottery tickets on an intermittent basis over years and years. Works for me.

[videoguy604]

If they do, thank goodness, with 10% unemployment, the less people competing for a job, the better!

[pokerslut530]

Guess he hasn't heard that even McDonalds isn't hiring in many areas. I sure as hell tried.

[437thx1138]

He has one effed up real world.

So out of touch they think unemployment is a money maker. Like disability-that's how you get rich, lol.

There are abuses just like Wall-street. But they don't crash the system, and then get paid.

[btc8128]

What a fucking ass hole

[Davenergy]

What an idiot. When there is unemployment, there are going to be people without jobs PERIOD! People can't get hired for jobs that don't exist.

[ARom101]

why do these guys shoot themselves in the foot?

[babybluesnowden]

Bail out the Oligarchy, goldman sachs and let their largest competitor fail, Lehman Brothers. We are going to end up with 1 bank ,1 oil company, and 1 pissed off republic tired of these criminals.

[hanslute]

I love that Tom Delay thinks he lives in the real world.

[operacrasher]

This "out of touch idiot" needs to return to his "former job"on "Dancing with the Stars."That job is the ONLY JOB where he ever demonstrated any competency.

There are NO SUCH STUDIES (on this subject).If there are...cite them specifically (Einstein)

What a putz!!

[wowhornby]

this asshole used to go to Saipan to prevent the American labor laws from applying even though stuff made there says "made in America." People were paid 15 cents per hour. There are no jobs, jerk. So glad he was kicked out of Congress.

[ihitawallofassholes]

Why isnt he in prison?

[TVFOGGED]

There is an argument to be made also that working fast food isn't worth your time and just makes people fat.

[anddihier]

What Jobs?..There is no jobs...the gov. closed all the business's down here and most moved out of the country. Unreal

[boots920]

Watch Al Gore and Ross Perot debate in 1993 on Larry King , NAFTA. Ross knew this debacle would happen.

Ross predicted this staged event in 1993 the US people should wake up to the FACT their industry is gone and their PAPER money is worthless all done by agenda.

[greyflcn]

@boots920

Or at very least, a paper money system can't survive Libertarian style deregulation.

Which is largely why the value of the dollar collapsed in the 1970's, because they made it so that banks could lend out 30 times the amount of money they had onhand.

And drastically lowered restrictions on international currency trading.

_

Similarly, that insurance especially requires regulation.

And we found out with Credit Default Swaps just how bad unregulated insurance can be.

[btc8128]

80% of gold is used to make jewelry

[boots920]

Yea that's why the people of India only accept gold, not paper for dowries. Paid in full not promises to pay, the US Federal Reserve Note isn't gold is it ?

Its been accepted as good as gold for 40 years now the US people are going to suffer right along with the rest of the 3rd world peasants. The US government wants their taxpayers dead without the use of bullets. Working great don't ya think?

[btc8128]

We whent off gold in 1944, and 80% of gold is used to make jewelry

[boots920]

You mean the US government stole all the US people's gold in 1933. (all that gold confiscated in 1933 is now been replaced by salted bars.)

See even back then the US government was ripping off their own people. Symptoms of a Banana Republic like I said the US government wants their people dead without the use of bullets. Its called subversion you subvert the rule of law so your people suffer and die.

[baronmorris]

gold is as arbitrary as any other standard. it's all illusion anyway. you should really get a life.

[boots920]

"gold is as arbitrary as any other standard"

The US dollar is world reserve currency and is equivalent to gold value. So once the price of gold in worthless paper rises, it proves the central bank is counterfeiting currency. With the co-operation of all world governments.

Just means I get to live like an animal for the rest of my life because the American people are a bunch of idiots, they do nothing as their government counterfeits them into oblivion.

[btc8128]

The New Hampshire agreement

80% of gold is used to make jewelry

India has a currency, its called the Rupee and its pegged to the U.S. Dollar

The American middle class in 1913 was under 5% of the population

Only 3rd world countries have currencies backed by commodities

Only communist countries have 100% administered Federal Reserves

[boots920]

India has a currency, its called the Rupee and its pegged to the U.S. Dollar

- I know that's why dowries are only accepted in gold

jewelryOnly 3rd world countries have currencies backed by commodities

- USA 1776 to 1971 - 1st world ??

Only communist countries have 100% administered Federal Reserves - exactly the Federal Reserve Banking system is item #5 on the communist manifesto. So the American people have been living in commie world since 1913 - good point government employee !! Well Done

[btc8128]

False claim, barter system has existed in Indian bazaars since before Rome, more tradition than anything. I visit India twice a year and they seem to love my money. Get out of your mothers basement.

Goods and land have always been the primary capital. The 1880s expansion west was complete placing more importance on currency. Fluctuating gold prices & exchange rates and manipulation by JP Morgan proved gold backed gold systems to be a failure. Investors gold unstable to back currency.

[btc8128]

Thanks for helping me make my point, we dont have a Federally Owned Reserve

You need to go to school, if you can get in

[boots920]

Thanks for helping me make my point, we dont have a Federally Owned Reserve - bull shit that's a lie the Fed is privately owned.

[btc8128]

You understand that statement agrees with mine right? Youre dumber that I thought.

The FED is a hybrid agency. Its shared, owned both publicly and privately.

Good Bye

[boots920]

ITS still on the books government employee

"Only gold and silver is legal US tender" - How do they pay you ass clown in product or fiat money. You should run for office you would fit right in.

QE2 has a piece of the fed , so do ALL the international banks.

Counterfeiting the US dollar into oblivion.

[btc8128]

No it isnt, The Feds website and countless other sources explain this and how the fed operates (Foundation of Financial Management by Block, Hirt, & Danielsen), perhaps you should read something worthwhile for once. Please explain conscript currency then? And how states for many years had their own currencies? And I dont know what the fuck you mean by government employee and gold and silver as legal tender your pussy ass comments are no longer worthy of a reply. GOOD BYE DUMB ASSS!

[boots920]

Sure is pin head Read Article 1 Sec 10 and Article 1 Sec 8

No bills of credit , dip shit that's pretty basic what I'm wondering is why ALL government accept the Federal Reserve Note as legal tender, its counterfeit.

Now if you could should me where it says funny money is legal I'm all eyes.

[animeownage86]

Because a long time ago our asshole leaders sold us out to the banks and when they bankrupted the country our jackass leaders put the American peoples future up for collateral in the form of social security and as time went by the Federal Reserve took complete control of everything in this country from behind the scenes through media controlled propaganda, invented enemy's, and puppet politicians. So a bunch of psychotic greedy bankers are in control of this country and have us all by the balls.

[boots920]

Yep , looks like the peasants are toast we're going to be starving by the millions. What I don't get is what's the use of having all the money you want with no civilization to spend it in.

US Fed Note is funny money how come other governments accept it as valuable , its ridiculous.

[wowamonn]

greyflcn please dont encourage boots because he is going to go off on his fetishs, Gold and Obamas citizenship.

[boots920]

No I'm more into rule of law... Read Article 1 Sec 10

Only Gold and silver is legal US tender US government by counterfeiting US currency is causing the current economic debacle. As we go you'll find its unfixable so the hamster US taxpayers will live in 3rd world conditions for the rest of their lifes. As planned for in 1913 wave the the flag now for poverty.

[greyflcn]

@boots920

No boots.

You're into making up your own personal definition of the Constitution.

A sentence starting with "No state shall". Does not apply to Congress.

And the word "make" doesn't mean "allow"

The word make means to create something.

Just as all the other verbs in the same sentence refer to creating something.

_

What's more, I really wonder why you keep doing this, if you don't even live in the US anymore.

Why don't you go bug some UK politics threads for a change?

[boots920]

Here's the other part of the LAW: RULE OF MONEY LAW FOR CONGRESS Article 1 Sec 8

"To coin MONEY (gold, silver) regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures."

Nixon was a idiot, puppet, moron, crook , traitor, asshole and was pardoned by Ford who was on the warren commission. Nixon's executive order of 1971 subverted the US constitution, so now the US people are going to die, but first they're going to suffer. As proven with now !!!

[greyflcn]

@boots920

"regulate the Value thereof"

If "Money" has a congressionally regulated value.

Why would it have anything to do with gold and silver?

When by definition, the value of "Money" is not regulated by the value of what it is physically made out of.

[boots920]

If "Money" has a congressionally regulated value. , exactly according to the US constitution Money is defined as gold and silver. (The federal government mints money for the states) REDBOOK coin until 1964

When by definition, the value of "Money" is not regulated by the value of what it is physically made out of.

- Right again like because of Nixon the world has been accepting Zimbabwe dollars as valuable as the US dollar has no value. We all get to die.

[greyflcn]

@boots920

There is no sentence that says "Money" is gold and silver.

Infact, the sentence you were thinking says states can't print money.

But states can print gold and silver coins.

By definition, Money is something different from gold and silver coins.

[boots920]

@boots920

There is no sentence that says "Money" is gold and silver.

Article 1 Sec 10

"make anyThing but gold and silver COIN a tender in payment of Debts"

Federal reserve note is a bill of credit , illegal currency . Why are you such an asshole government employee ?

[greyflcn]

@boots920

No boots.

You're into making up your own personal definition of the Constitution.

A sentence starting with "No state shall". Does not apply to Congress.

And the word "make" doesn't mean "allow"

The word make means to create something.

Just as all the other verbs in the same sentence refer to creating something.

[boots920]

A sentence starting with "No state shall". Does not apply to Congress.

I know that direction is for the states (money law the federal government will provide gold and silver coin)

Congress's direction is found in Article 1 Sec 8, explains why the REDBOOK of gold and silver coins exists eh government asshole ? Now the American people are going to die but first they're going to suffer as proven with currency economic reality. You haven't seen the full force of the planned depression yet.

[boots920]

"What's more, I really wonder why you keep doing this, if you don't even live in the US anymore."

Because my frickin government accepts the US dollar as valuable so my ass is being counterfeited into oblivion as well.

No peasant gets out alive dip shit. Why does my government want me dead ? All the wars fought in the last 100 years has been for paper profit, my family suffered and died for sweet fuck all.

[boots920]

Only a corrupt government would allow their money supply to be counterfeited into oblivion.

What you have to consider here is ALL governments around the world without exception regard the US Federal Reserve Note as valuable.

All the peasants get to die because of the US dollar is worthless paper. You think things are bad now just wait when the market makes the adjustment of 0 value on the paper.

Americans will lose their life's savings in a blink of eye, lots have already.

[btc8128]

You fail to answer any of my statements; youre leaving crazy talk and entering stupidity. The U.S. dollar can never have a value of 0 because almost all currencies are pegged to it and my statements are just a few of the countless reasons that wont change. You find me a currency that is completely independent of U.S. influence we might have something to talk about. China? Completely reliant, E.U.? Completely reliant, U.K.? Completely reliant. Russia? Completely reliant, Brazil? ...

[boots920]

The U.S. dollar can never have a value of 0 because almost all currencies are pegged to it - exactly pin head once it goes to 0 value so do all the rest.

Only gold and silver won't reset to 0 that's why the US government minted gold and silver coins untill LBJ the war criminal took silver out coin in 1964, then Nixon the asshole ended sound money. Future for the world's economy is based on the idiots that are called government.

[btc8128]

The most secure self standing currency is Canada and I dont see them as a threat. Maybe you should go there...

People "in the real world" Tom, aren't going corrupt every two seconds for the sake of it, like you did in politics.

People in the real world, Tom, use unemployment benefits to transition from one job to the next and rely on it during a time of hardship.

To summarize, people use it to SURVIVE. Something you would not know a damn thing about, you crooked liar.

Every time a republican needs "facts" they just make up shit. "some studies" have shown people don't want health reform, "some studies" have shown unemployment benefits just make people lazy and we should get ride of them, "some school" said there were over 2 million people at the tea party rally... fucking idiots... Then, when real polls/facts are cited to them, they just ignore/dispute them. ARG!

[dafttool]

What an ass. The money used in unemployment benefits is OUR money we paid into create our own safety net. Under the false premise of self-suffiency, DeLay is arguing to steal our own money away from us [the American people]

[larsontic]

Did that cunt just talk about " people in the real world " ? How does he know.

[bahamabrz]

The reality is that when you are forced to go on unemployment your income is slashed by more than half ! If I were as "out of touch" as Delay, I would shut my mouth and try to keep from embarrassing myself.

Living like a high roller on unemployment. What a joke.

[hobnailrose]

"there's a study out there, somewhere, I'm sure, I think"?

I can commission a study to reveal that bananas really taste like apples.

There are 6 active job seekers for every 1 opening. Over 14 million Americans have lost their job, and those jobs have yet to be replaced by new industry.

No "Study" required, 1st grade math will do just fine!

[Philinspaces]

Like I said, the benefits are much smaller than the wage lost. Twit.

[sidplicity]

Time for jail

[FixedNewsChannel]

Yes, prison now.

These fools want to stoke a class war.

@ONQproductions

Hardly, he just wants to maintain the right wing perception that Wealth is measure of Diligence.

Therefore, the people who are Wealthy, deserve their wealth.

And the people who are Poor, deserve to be poor.

If it wealth were gained due to chance and scamming, and not diligence. Then that wealth wouldn't be truly deserved.

Which is especially true for the most wealthy.

Sure, he's propping up the paradigm. But they have to know what the consequences will be. They've seen it before in the early 1900's. It's happening today in Greece, Indonesia, France... The masses have been used and abused for so long that the system has cracked, and DeLays squeezing of the downtrodden will only cause that system to shatter. How can they not see the war they are instigating?

@ONQproductions

Well the difference is that those countries aren't sustained by religious puritanism.

Which basically says that you are rich or poor, dependant on a combination of diligence, and fate.

And for the atheists, they instead merely use social darwinism.

Or just in general the successful rightwing approach of demonizing social programs.

Hell, France has Socialists running as frontrunners in presidential campaigns.

Where as US, anything associated with that term is an insult.

[tonycapricorny]

CITE THE STUDIES, sir. Otherwise, it's just an opinion.

[robinvan1983]

[guaporuiz]

Amazing! And he WAS the GOP House Leader? Gotta love the GOP!
