But facts are facts, and there it is in black and white. Extending unemployment benefits is indeed more stimulative than tax cuts. Discussion over.

Really? Two years of unemployment benefits being extended over and over and well hows that worked out for us? lol Some people are just blinded by their ideology, even Stevie Wonder can see that it is is just idiotic to think unemployment benefits is more of a stimulus.About all that extending unemployment over and over has done is add to our debt. Having said that, I am actually in favor of extending the benefits this time IF they find a way to pay for them, no more adding to the debt.I am in favor of this because for those who can not find a job, it will hurt them and they need help.
