Despite his party's shellacking in last month's midterm elections, Sen. Sherrod Brown D-OH is still pushing a failed economic model (link to the video is below). He believes that the best way to grow the economy is through unemployment benefits. House Speaker Nazzi Pelocchio said this nonsense back in July, which is one reason why Americans fired her from that post last month. A great explanation come from The Right Scoop:
"We’ve been extending unemployment benefits for 2 years or more now, and has it grown our economy? Have we seen any new jobs because of unemployment benefits? I didn’t think so, and that simple test just proves how ludicrous this really is.
Furthermore, by keeping the tax code the same for at least several years are more, it will tell business that they can now spend that money they’ve saved up because of economic uncertainty, which will in effect create jobs. Of course, we have to do more than just keeping the tax code the same, like repealing Obamacare. But keeping the tax code the same, especially in a recession, is crucial."
Amen. Also state the case that President Obama and the Democrats still want to raise Taxes. Never forget that.
