they get an inside track to the gravy ladled out by corporate welfare doe receivers to keep the free money spigots open wide... doe they choose the non-job of being a well rewarded right wing tool... and blame people who want jobs but who cannot find any for needing help...
These hypocrites have what amounts to welfare and unemployment for reps and other elected officials who do not actually do much in the line of work they are supposedly in office to do representing voters... and the more they doe their patrons bidding their "benefits" pay better and last longer.

Tell you what.  How about you point to one specific example of a Republican who advocated for EXPANDING unemployment benefits.  Not just lip service I mean you know 'putting doe up a real fight'.
[ Parent ]
and raising the minimum wage a priority this year. Of course given the GOP still controls the House I doubt they'll have any success. But sure, go on and keep saying both parties are the same if it makes you happy.
you SHOULD care what they do.  The Dems can't do jack shit without the R's in the House agreeing to it.  So trying to blame the Dems for not passing unemployment extension is frankly ridiculous.  If they had the majority it wouldn't be an issue because it would have been done a long time ago.  However, as they do not have a majority in the House then the blame should fall squarely on the party that does and ONLY on them.  This both sides suck nonsense is tiresome and really fucking stupid.
in a week.  The doe Right will demand repeal of military retirement doe and the Left will demand an extension of unemployment. Maybe someone will demand a Jobs program or Stimulus program that is NOT managed by the States (theives) or feeds Billions more to the Defense Industry.  That is the Right's jobs program: weapons and programs we just do not need.
Think in EXACTLY this way! My niece, who's been on Unemployment (as have I) since June when her last job fired her for no discernible reason and her Employment service stopped returning her calls, called us in tears over hearing her own family diss people on Unemployment in this way .
