The topic was the Republican's disapproval of the additional spending to extend unemployment benefits, and if unemployment benefits were extended by the Democrats then the Republicans wanted it paid for upfront from the left over Stimulus money, as opposed to creating yet additional debt for this debt burdened Country.
Senator Carper position clearly showed that reasoning is not one of his strong points. Carper, a Democrat from Deleware (shame on you Deleware for voting this butt clown into office), reasoned that if we didn't pay ahead of time for the Bush Tax Cuts, then we should not have to pay ahead of time for extended unemployment benefits. WHAT?!?! Here's an idea Mr. Potatohead, let's not compare Bowling Balls and Watermelons.
Carper further stated that is was totally unfair to deny additional unemployment benefits. Unfair? I'll tell you what is unfair. Unfair is burdening Americans with additional taxes from the Health Care Bill. Unfair is morgaging our children and grandchildren's future with unending National Debt. Unfair is growing Federal Governmental powers outside the scope and intent of the Constitution.
Rather than treat the symptoms of unemployment by throwing benefits at the job less why don't you implement the tried and true method of reducing taxes and unfair regulations on small business which would stimulate job growth? How about reducing the captial gains tax rate to stimulate investments in businesses? Let's start with making permament the Bush Tax cuts which will certainly expire soon in the Democrat controlled Congress and Obama Adminstration.
