I find it interesting how "some" people have done nothing for the last couple of years of their life but complain, and complain more about the federal budget, but when the government is ready to spend billions and billion on a welfare scheme that they are somehow supportive and even upset that even MORE money was not included for it.

I call it hypocrisy.

Increasing unemployment benefits to people will not help the economy.  Dependency never helped anyone.  Getting a job will help yourself and the economy as a whole instead of relying on the government to take care of you.  Once again, the budget deficit doesn't matter as long as the money goes to welfare and entitlements.

You want to help the economy?  Cut everyones taxes more and cut the wasteful social spending.
