Obama Warns Congress: Don’t ‘Harm Our Economy’:

The blame game is alive and well in DC.

Wow, is this a case of “if you live in a glass house don’t throw and boulders”?

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is calling on Congress to extend benefits for the long-term unemployed before they expire at the end of the year.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama says more than one million Americans will lose benefits if lawmakers don’t act. He says unemployment insurance is one of the most effective ways to boost the economy and that providing benefits does not stop people from trying to find work.

I have a better idea for Mr. Obama. How about creating jobs for these unemployed people so they can go back to work.

There are people that have been on unemployment so long they don’t want to go back to work. In part this is a rut some people are in because the government has created it.

It is called enabling. Not all the people on unemployment are “playing the system” but there is a very healthy percentage that are.

When a person considers that they can make more money on social programs than if they worked, what is their incentive to get a job??

There was an article recently published that stated; a person can make twice as much on social programs than the minimum wage pays. Dose that even make sense?
