He isn't dishonest, he is stupid. He, in his heart, thinks that these people should not get unemployment at all.

I don’t think kev is stupid. I think he is one-eyed. I think he decides what the republican/conservative viewpoint is, and then seeks to defend it, rather than determining whether that viewpoint is worth defending.

It was sarcasm. What you said is so fucking obvious to anybody that can connect 2 dots together. Clearly though, some people can't. It's amusing.

Also, to comment on the second part of your post (Bush-era policies and how they affect today's situation); people don't seem to get that it takes a few years for policies to develop before we see whether they have a positive or negative impact. Anyone judging Obama's policies right now is an idiot. It won't be until AT LEAST late 2012 before we get a clear picture of how his policies affected the economic landscape.

And we always like to remind you that bush’s 2 wars, his tax cuts, and the financial crisis are the major culprits of worsening deficits. And you just stick your fingers in your ears and type more horseshit. And this graph isn’t even taking into account bush’s prescription drugs act, set to add trillions in unfunded liabilities. http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3036

THIS

You know maybe if your Republican pals and Bankster friends actually took the time to create SOME FUCKING JOBS here in America, you might you see the spending in UI go down a bit. And now you want to blame the unemployed as the problem for our deficit? Unbelievable.

Glad you replied, PKC. I was going to start yelling at my monitor

Do people actually expect something bad to happen from this? Or do you think there will end up being some magic solution at the last minute that will string us along a little further..

I believe they will raise the debt ceiling right at the last minute, through a series of compromises. Basically, to kick the can a little further down the road. How else will they be able to fund their 3 kinetic actions around the world?

If they don't have something comprehensive one ratings agency already said they will lower our rating. We are pretty much fucked either way, its just a matter of how much.

So Kevin, what is going to be your excuse August 3rd? It is clear that public sentiment is growing against your party and its hostage taking of the American people. Even the stupid people are waking up now and realizing that it is your party that is ultimately going to ruin this country.

It's still going to be Obama's fault.
