Top Obama Adviser Valerie Jarrett: “Unemployment Checks Stimulate the Economy”…

It’s almost like they want people dependent on the welfare state.

“Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community,” Jarrett said. “And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it’s good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that’s healthy as well.”

    Unemployment checks pay the bills that people can’t get the government to pay for.
    And then, they buy a bag of marijuana with whatever is left.

    Valerie Jarrett is lauded as the other half of Obama’s brain.

    Father-in law Vernon Jarrett had communist ties. Mother Barbara Bowman friend of Bill Ayers. Father James Bowman into eugenics.

    Need I say more?

    Makes one wonder if Valerie Jarrett is actually Obama’s “HANDLER”

    Its the responsibility of the people of God, through the church, to help those less fortunate.

    If those helped do not help themselves, they have no one to blame but themselves.

    The Government was NOT designed and is not responsible for taking care of the poor and downtrodden and anyone who thinks that is prime fodder for this administration.

    Wake up people of America.

    If I robbed every house on my block and then spent the proceeds around town, that would be GREAT for the local economy. The pawnshops would have new items, the shops would have the money I spent AND the money from everyone on my block having to replace their stuff.
    Better get busy doing my part.

    You Little Cheese Muppin.

    This is just like having a coin operated pop machine in your basement and your son and his friends use the same quarters over and over.

    This could go on for twenty years and the original amount of quarters will not change, unless somebody brings over more.

    This lady is so F ing Offensive, it is off the charts. She is not back out on the streets shaking people down, she is talking to all of America.

    Oh, it “stimulates the economy”, but only a little bit. The economy would be much more greatly stimulated if there wasn’t such a Socialist stranglehold on businesses through regulation and taxation (and you can include the heavy taxation on citizens as well, but that is the point of tyranny isn’t it?).

  20. Dapandico says:

    Slingin crack on the corner also stimulates the economy.

    Only a brain-damaged Lib would suggest that a paycheck that’s a fraction of what you are accustomed to would enable you to do anything beyond paying for the bare essentials to maintain your lifestyle. There is nothing cheaper now than it was three years ago excluding the BS talk coming out of the cakeholes of this patheticly inept administration.

    When I was on unemployment, I must have been doing something wrong. I had to continually use my savings because my unemployment check covered my rent but no money was left over.

  31. Texasron says:
    February 22, 2012 at 11:33 am

    Ans, unemployment checks keep people from trying to find work which makes the unemployment numbers look better for Obama.

  32. Shadowblitz70 says:
    February 22, 2012 at 11:50 am

    Cmon, we all know an unemployment check is much better for the economy than a PAYCHECK.

    This ranks right up there with telling us how high gas prices save lives and republicans want to see women dead on the floor.

  33. rhhardin says:
    February 22, 2012 at 11:50 am

    Unemployment checks do stimulate the economy.

    They just stimulate it less than writing the checks unstimuates the economy.

    Zip said: “It’s almost like they want people dependent on the welfare state.”

    It’s exactly what they want and will affect if they were to prevail. We as a self thinking, hardworking people must defeat this once and for all.

    Turn to the Constitution for guidance and invoke common sense in our daily process. Look to leadership that has hands on problem solving skills in troubled times and entities.

    This is the most retarded Line of reasoning I’ve ever heard. I was actually at a conference and some dimwit assistant to Hilda Solis said the same thing. If this was case (unemployment checks stimulating the economy); Then logically the economy would improve just by everyone being unemployed. Do these people even think about what they say?

    I’m sure she’s one of those people who say, “I must have money in the bank, I still have checks left in the checkbook!”

  43. thesixfour says:
    February 23, 2012 at 2:44 am

    Wait, is she implying capitalism ACTUALLY is that which ‘stimulates’?

    imagine all the stimulation that would happen without the government waste through programs like welfare! No overhead!
