Rush Limbaugh says Obama's "summer of recovery" will include the opening of new soup kitchens and renovating unemployment offices.

Limbaugh wonders "at what point does unemployment compensation become welfare."

"The longer you pay people not to work, the longer they're going to try not to work," Limbaugh said.

  • fat drug addict. selfish bastard

  • @budwv1 Note how he talks of welfare and "How will we pay for it" It is so insignificant to the debt so these people blocking this are just heartless bastards who are so out of touch with the struggles of the common man.

  • I'm sure everything looks rosie from his gated community in palm beach and he will never need unemployment benefits, unlike the hard working folks that have lost their jobs. Work for 25 years, get laid off, and unemployment benefits are suddenly welfare and an incentive to not look for employment. Rush, you are this country's biggest jack-wagon. Everything you think you know is wrong.

  • As usual, Rush is right again.

    "And you are retarded for suggesting the majority of these people would stay on them."

    .

    No, Limbaugh's not retarded. He knows full well that he's slinging more bullshit than all the farmers in the US.

    .

    But his audience that believes this Limbaugh rabid right bullshit *IS* retarded.

  • The Left just wants everyone to be either dependent (broken economy = unemployment and welfare) or subservient (through taxes and regulations) to government.

  • They did not extend the benefits to 2.5 years. No new tiers were added. Much of the uproar was from more recently unemployed when they were cut short sooner than expected. People who instead of a Christmas bonus/party were given the "I am sorry I have to let you go" speech.

  • It's tied to the unemployment rate, Rush. So if I'm unemployed and my state's unemployment rate drops below 9%, then my benefits stop.

    And you are retarded for suggesting the majority of these people would stay on them. I guess the country just got really, really lazy at the end of 2008? Jesus you're stupid.

    Maybe you should suggest ending the trillion in tax cuts to pay for it, eh? Oh, right, deficit spending is OK as long as your buddies profit.
