I don't watch the debates because they infuriate me. Not just the moderators, but the candidates themselves.
A pet gripe is their stance on unemployment of course. You hear the idiots say that they don't think people should be paid for sitting around doing nothing, that unemployment should be tied to training.
Sure, go ahead, train me. I have no problem with that. But with 1 job for every 5 unemployed, what do you plan on doing after that?
As for sitting around doing nothing, do they think we're not looking for jobs? That's nothing? That's full time work in itself. We're not sitting here watching Oprah or The View, fools.
As for blaming it on the 99ers, that's just stupid. The 99ers are no longer collecting unemployment, so I guess they don't have to worry about them now, do they?
If these five bozos are the best the GOP can field we are in deep trouble.
They have little understanding on the unemployment situation -- which is separate from the jobs situation -- and no understanding of the unemployed.
And none of them have ever had to suffer through the degrading humiliation of living on the dole.
If they had they wouldn't be singing this tune.
And before you blame the 25-30 million un(der)employed for the debt woes of this once great nation, fix your spending problems in D.C. Fix the issues that are causing companies to not hire and take their business elsewhere.
If you fix the jobs problem, then the unemployment problem will go away of it's own.
But don't throw them under the bus and hope that problem will go away.
