Our Stupid, Ignorant, Gaffe-Prone President: Unemployment Insurance Creates More Jobs Than Actual Jobs
Behold, the "American" President.
As Obama called for passage of those bills, he also responded to a recent Republican push to require him to approve the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada. "However many jobs might be generated by a Keystone pipeline," he said, "they're going to be a lot fewer than the jobs that are created by extending the payroll tax cut and extending unemployment insurance."
Sums it up, doesn't it? A government program which puts people on the dole creates jobs, but a private venture to deliver energy does not.
