Ummm...yeah, that is an interesting concept.

LOL.

Once they pass it, then the people they represent can learn what's in it...

I could believe her, as long as we're talking about programs. Unemployment compensation has to be creating some jobs, even if a bunch of them are involved in unemployment compensation, which is more than can be said for the "Green Jobs" initiative, which relies almost entirely on artificial demand....and supply, come to think of it.

Of course, bear in mind that creating jobs for the electorate is not exactly what most state unemployment insurance is for; it's more about preserving jobs for the elected. In that respect it has a pretty decent track record, minus one significant attempt at welfare reform.

Her goals seem to have the stench of communism.

The working people who are the pillars of society, have already been weakened far to much.
If, and/or when they fall, so too will society as people now know it.

Socialism does not strengthen the weak.
It weakens the strong.

The weak are multiplying, at the expense of the strong.
This goes against the laws of nature, and can not be sustained.
The longer it contimues, the higher will be the end price tag.

Help.
Your taking lessons from your prof, and leaving me in bewilderment over the question.

At minimum, did I earn a plus or minus?
