Attaturk reports on Erin Burnett’s performance on Joe Scarborough’s show in which she claimed that unemployed people stay that way purposely until they drain every last penny of their unemployment benefits, and apparently the two of them suggested unemployment benefits should be discontinued.
In other words, if you get laid-off, not only can you not afford to keep your health insurance thanks to the way COBRA works, but why should you be able to afford stuff like rent/mortgages or food? You are now a worthless sumbitch not worthy of the value Erin Burnett and Joe Scarborough provide our society. And let's not even mention the incredible contribution Mika provides with her tight-v-neck sweatered grunts of intimidated validity towards Joe.i.e, Just shoot yourselves, unemployed people.
The understanding both of how unemployment ACTUALLY WORKS and why it is a public good not only for its providing a bare measure of safety and EFFICIENCY in the market place is totally out of their realm of understanding.
” Just shoot yourselves, unemployed people.” Unfortunately, that actually seems to be a viable option for some of them. And somehow, I don’t think that’s a problem for Ms. Burnett and her viewers.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
I used to want to shoot myself when I had feelings of worthlessness, but now I have greater urges to shoot others.
ReplyDeleteand in all seriousness, that turn is precisely one of the very reasons (if not the primary reason) public assistance was put into place. something the screeching Rush dittoheads have apparently never considered.
