Dear Kentucky readers:
We currently have a statewide unemployment rate of 10.4%. Our senators, Mitch McConnell and Jim Bunning, have filibustered federal unemployment benefits three times each. The people we sent to Washington DC to represent us are telling us that with a 10.4% unemployment rate there's nothing they can do to help.
Do you think Rand Paul will be any different? Do you really believe the Republican line that the problem right now is that everyone you know who lost their job and still hasn't found one yet is a lazy parasite?
Think about that. Go to the polls. Vote in November.
telling us that with a 10.4% unemployment rate there's nothing they can do to help
ReplyDeleteOr they could be telling you "Hey the Dems made a promise and we're holding them to it"
You neglect to mention PayGo at all. Now is the GOP holding this up to put heat on the Dems, yes. Is that the ONLY reason? No.
Cover both sides, youre opinion will come off more believable.
By all means, if you think paygo is more important than jobs, vote Rand Paul.
ReplyDeleteWhen we have stimulus money sitting around, why not use some of it?
ReplyDeleteI mean Nancy Pelosi said unemployment checks are the fastest way to create jobs...
