“Even though we had a terrible economic crisis three years ago, throughout our country many people were suffering before the last three years, particularly in the black community,” Jarrett said. “And so we need to make sure that we continue to support that important safety net. It not only is good for the family, but it’s good for the economy. People who receive that unemployment check go out and spend it and help stimulate the economy, so that’s healthy as well.”

Because taking that $10.00 from us and give $2.00 to the slacker, and pissing the rest on overhead and red tape, is a good use of my money. Here is an idea, let me keep it, when I spend it the whole $10.00 goes into the economy and everyone benefits and if I keep it in savings, it can be used as the backing for a lone on someones new business or on an expansion!
