"They keep extending these unemployment benefits to the point where people are afraid to go out and get a job because the job doesn’t pay as much as the unemployment benefit does. … What has happened is the system of entitlement has caused us to have a spoilage with our ability to go out and get a job. … There are some jobs out there that are available." Sharron Angle
I can't even begin to describe how stupid this is. She obviously has no clue what it means to be on unemployment and struggling to find a job in this economic climate. No clue. Unemployment benefits are only a fraction of the former salary. Around $240 per week. Try paying a $1500/month mortgage, along with bills and food, on $240 per week.
Oh, and by the way, the Senate Republicans filibustered unemployment extensions again tonight.
