I think you confused the portion of the Market Ticker post I posted here that talked about the fake Tea Party as being my words.
It was on topic with Donny’s blog posts, so I posted it here.
No biggie ;)
Hi GDCal,
I’m in the dark, too, but as NancyM points out, these extensions will expire at the end of the year anyway. If you ever get into another extended unemployment situation, you would get the 26-week UI, but I guess Congress would have to legislate more extensions. And at this point, they prefer to ignore the 99ers.

No, I wouldn’t assume you to bunk in the same bed with someone you have no romantic interest in, but isn’t sleeping on a blowup air mattress or inside a sleeping bag, or even (if necessary) on blankets on the floor preferable to not knowing where you’re going to sleep the next day? It’s not comfy, but it would be convenient since it’d cost both of you less money to rent and you’d both be secure in housing until the situation changes.
blah,blah,blah, go away for a month & you’re still spouting the same old bullshit. GET A NEW SCRIPT, this one’s a tad stale….
“We are poor indeed if this nation cannot afford to lift from every recess of American life the dread fear of the unemployed that they are not needed in the world. We cannot afford to accumulate a deficit in the books of human fortitude.” Franklin D. Roosevelt, June 27, 1936
@anne2012: I agree and the RTP will not take over all 3 houses in 2012, thats why America is in this financial mess retroactive. $12 Trillion national debt and 2 WARS cannot disappear in 2+ years but there are those that blog the www with political manure with hopes the people are stupid enough to believe it and vote in the same political party all over again. “LESSER OF TWO EVILS = THE DEMOCRATS” HR 589 surviving adminst the naysayers!

I have many “conservative”…by the old definition, bones in my body.
I’m a life NRA member…
A LOT of us believe in truth, not spin…
Palin is a airhead dingbat out for publicity and money, and our so called “media” eats it up, as they ignore so many FACTS about what is going on that are VERY SERIOUS!
GRRRR!
Later people>>>>
What the heck are you doing over here LT? LOL
We all need a break from all this at times. Go out and enjoy the Florida weather for a while.
To all of our so called elected “leaders” (and those that work for them) out there that purposely ignore what so many millions of our people are dealing with now as you suck the private parts of the elite, I have a message for you.
I pray to God that one day every dollar you have is taken from you as you are fired from your job and get a hard kick in the ass to the curb so you and your family have to try to survive like so many of your constituents do now!
It will happen sooner or later…

Well, the answer IS public financing of elections. It has worked in some places; it’s just that in the heat of elections everyone seems to forget all about that need for change.
And on top of it all I am now seeing double and I don’t even have a damn thing to drink!
One last thing I want to add for today is that David Stockman said that extending the Bush tax cuts would be equal to America declaring bankruptcy…
And he, being the one of the main ones that designed “trickle down economics”, spent MANY years since then saying how IT DOES NOT WORK.
Here’s a reality-check viewpoint I find interesting:
Calm down about the unimportant debt ceiling deal
