No kidding. Our founding ancestors would be shooting by now.

The benefit will be created in the toilet paper industry? Now that is a shovel ready business heh?

Those "macroeconomic advisers" that Pelosi referred to are well known as Curly, Larry and Moe and are a step up intellectually over her!

Not extending unemployment benefits would have its own costs like increased crime, possible riots, overtime for police and courts and new prisons being built.

So far the Obamarecession has been remarkably crime free...but it won't stay that way if people see their kids start going hungry.

It will keep 600,000 jobs open for those who want them by keeping that many on unemployment bennies.

Her sources revealed...

Last week, Nancy Pelosi insisted that extending unemployment benefits would, er, save or create 600,000 jobs, and insisted that experts in macroeconomics told her so. Who are the economic experts that advise Pelosi? According to Roll Call, Pelosi hauled a few of them up to Capitol Hill to support her economic policy, but didn’t disclose her relationship with at least one of them:

What Pelosi did not mention is that one of the men in the group was her son’s boss and a partner with her husband in more than a half-dozen investments, including one that generated more than $100,000 in income for the Speaker’s family last year.

It was the fourth time since 2007 that Pelosi had invited San Francisco investment banker William Hambrecht to be part of an economic policy forum on the Hill and the third time she appeared at a podium with him to speak to reporters. At none of those events did the then-Speaker reveal her financial ties to Hambrecht, and House rules did not require her to do so.

At a time when the connection between a Member of Congress’ personal finances and public role has been spotlighted by the proposed STOCK Act — which would prohibit lawmakers from trading on legislative knowledge — the case of Pelosi and her family’s investment adviser is a reminder of how few rules exist to govern these relationships.

Anyone surprised? I didn't think so.

We could "save or create" 600,000 jobs each year Pelosi is gone.

I would say it's more the Bushrecession.
