Are we stimulated yet?

The total number of people collecting unemployment benefits rose to more than 6.5 million, a record reading for a 16th straight week, and a sign companies are still not hiring.

Thank goodness King Hussein has it all under control. Does anyone have the link to the video of the big 'O' bowing to the Saudi King?

As in bro give me my entitlement check.

Submitted by AlaskanWannaB on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 2:56am.

Like the entitlement check that your Mom or grandma gets in the form of Social Security benefits. The last time I looked, employers have been paying State and Federal Unemployment benefits for "people out of work" for a long time. No, please don't support entitlements. Let's start a war with Iran and Afghanistan at a cost of billions of dollars per month. I would rather start another than pay entitlements to those lazy, undeserving 6 million unemployed individuals. They are getting "entitlements."

No the checks that lifetime Welfare recepiants get, the checks that people get for not having to pay fed income taxes, the checks that people want for "Free healthcare", the checks that people want for "Universal Education"..etc.. etc.. The checks from "spreading the wealth around"..
None of us want the people that need assistance to not get it... that is not the point..

Please define. . .and who is getting this (other than none-tax paying illegals that our business community [and working mothers] keep hiring?)

If you think illegals are the only ones getting free health care you are kidding yourself. Why don't you visit a few emergency rooms and actually watch and listen to what goes on there? You might be amazed....

I see what's going on there! Citizens without health insurance because of unprecedented lay offs-etc.

Your 'point' has been muddied by your misguided attempt at humor. If you truly do not want to cut off assistance for people who need it - how about stricter regulations and monitoring of federal funds?

There is another picture almost identical to that one that has been linked to numerous times.....on this very website. It was used more than once by some of your liberal allies in their blogs. Unlike diva, I don't have the time or the inclination to search through old postings to locate it. But, you can bet I'll be watching for it again.....

If you'd read an entire post instead of looking for ways to soothe your ego - you would have answered this question by now.

Read the Republican Proposal - and explain the expected/calculated deficit in 2010. Surely there are economists in America who can give us guidance without using political labels. Obviously you and I don't have the answer.

That say we should give all the poor misguided souls "Free HealthCare" Free Entitlement checks" Free everything.. I just want to know how do you think we are going to pay for it.. You know the old saying.. you can wish in one hand.. and cr*p in the other.. see which one fills up first.. all I see is the cr*p.
and besides we are now 1.8 TRILLON deeper in debt since the repubs tried to counter OBAMA.. a little behind the times at least.. what is Obamas plan now... SPEND MORE MONEY.. China won't give it to us.. PRINT MORE MONEY..
