Please, so I don't have to copy and paste it all for you, read this webpage.

I will give you one copy and paste, only because it comes from Fox and Friends. It's the last quote on the webpage.
In a later segment on Fox & Friends, Camerota asked Fox News senior White House correspondent Major Garrett, "[Pelosi]'s basically saying it injects cash into the economy. That is true. But it's a job creator?" Garrett responded:
GARRETT: It's a job creator when there are no other job creators out there. ... When you have a climate where pervasive attitude among potential job hirers, meaning employers, is that we're just going to hold pat, then you really have nothing else to do to fuel the economy other than provide stimulus. And if you give cash to unemployed workers, at least that's cash they can spend in their local economy. So from that limited perspective, if you have no other alternatives and no one is hiring, or hiring is very, very low or slack, then unemployment benefits do provide ready cash at the local merchants to keep those businesses afloat.
The country's situation is far too serious to believe crackpots talking smoke and mirrors and economic nonsense

Inside "that limited perspective" - makes sense if the premises are true and there is no other changes in the system. Slogan: Wealth through unemployment.
Outside this limited perspective - just another branch of thinking from the economic crackheads? The monetary equivalent to creative design? Smoke and mirrors?

You are doomed. The era of good old fashioned neo-marxism is passing into the trash heap of history. The Messiah was your last shot and he has turned out to be a disaster. The man-child's scheme to pass this nation's future over to the radical left is falling flat on its face.
What radical left? You're delusional, man.

As John Stuart Mill said:
Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative.

Some instant classic Perry for your morning entertainment. In this installment, Rickles rants about a silly govt regulation...that doesn't exist. Like all Republicans, Gov Goodhair doesn't let the facts stand in the way of spraying his ignorance (from the notoriously "liberal" Wall Street Journal):
For a small-government conservative on the presidential campaign stump like Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a new federal regulation forcing farmers to get commercial drivers licenses would make a perfect example of Barack Obama’s Washington run amok.
But there is no such regulation.
During his debut in Iowa Sunday night in Waterloo, then again at on Monday at the Iowa State Fair Monday, Gov. Perry brought up the phantom “obscene, crazy” regulation in Texan terms.
“If you’re a tractor driver, if you drive your tractor across a public road, you’re gonna have to have a commercial driver’s license. Now how idiotic is that?” he thundered to the fair crowd in Des Moines, with the rejoinder, “What were they thinkin’?”
They were thinking "Yer an idjit, Perry"

once, twice, three times an idiot...
once: barry embarks on a three-state midwest "jobs tour" even though he doesn't have a plan for creating any jobs; the tour is actually to announce that he will have a plan in SEPTEMBER
twice: barry spends 2.2 MILLION dollars for two new buses for his tour
three times: these buses were manufactured in CANADA; hey, i have a jobs plan--how about buying your buses in AMERICA!!! c'mon, libs, where's the outrage over barry's outsourcing?
