If Republicans say that unemployment insurance dissuades people from finding work, then why...
Won't they even talk about creating government jobs and work like the Works Progress Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps?

Unless Republicans have a job lined up for the unemployed, then maybe they should rethink their position.

And no, Republicans and teabaggers, waiting for the "trickle down" to take effect is NOT having a job lined up for the unemployed, sorry.

1. Republicans hate Americans because we voted for Obama
They don't care if they punish their supporters as long as they can take it out on the rest of us. They hate us. Seriously. They hate us.

4. Well first of all you have to get the conservatives to understand that the job market is bad
I have yet to hear any conservative admit that unemployment is bad all over the country and not just in the area they live in. Every conservative I ever met say the same thing, if people wanted to work instead of just collecting a goberment check they would pack all of their belongings and move to where the jobs are, in fact they know someone that got a great job paying $25 an hour working in a hospital in another state and that person said there are all kinds of jobs at that hospital.

When you mention that most people don't have the education requirements for said jobs they answer well they can go to school and get their degree for the job, leaving out the important facts, that going to school takes time, that the person has to live while taking classes and by the time the person gets the required degree more then likely the job won't be there. There is that disconnect from reality that plagues the conservative thought pattern, if it don't fit their preconceptions then reality is tossed for whatever make believe ideal they can fit into reality to make it real for them, while the rest of the world deals with the reality of this is today and not what if land.
