  • really enjoyed it..

  • all my friends that are on unemployment laugh about it. they are just taking the money cause they dont feel like working. they go to the beach all the time.

  • Jim Bunning should be ashamed of himself

  • Unemployment insurance is bad because it changes the job market. People when they have 2 years to find work are going to look for a job with a comparable salary to there last one. A safety net is needed for people to get back on their feet but 2 years is getting a little bit much.

  • "in the midst of a recession you need to insert in this economy, economic activity in spending and the money that flows throu the fastest is unemployment benefits to those out of work" --Dick Durbun doesn't understand basic economics. That keynesian economist fraud, Paul Krugmen must have told him this. HA! Him and the rest of our incompetent politicians need to read the book "economics in one lesson" and tune in to Peter Schiff's radio show because they are clueless.

  • @66Metalforlife66 haha, and democrats don't lie? Hi! Welcome to American politics

  • Republicans are just assholes..

    They lie and lie over and over

  • THANK YOU JIM BUNNING 

  • Bastiat did say that once Legal Plunder was started in a country that it would build into a system, where everyone would be going after a piece of the government pie. It wouldn't matter if the piece of the pie was coming from their own pockets or their neighbors pockets. I would say that most Americans participate in the Legal Plunder that Bastiat warned about.

  • In The Law, written 1848, Bastiat, a French legislator, said that America had the greatest system of government in the world, because we didn't have a system of "Legal Plunder", such as France had. Legal plunder was when government had the power to take by "legal force" from one citizen to give to another or to grant citizens privileges over other citizens. Our Constitution did not allow for Legal plunder. Of course, the flaw Bastiat said America did have was slavery.
