Unemployment extensions 39 weeks now, what a joke!!!!

What really gets me is Rep. Sander Levin (D - Michigan) and Rep. Peter Welch ( D- Vermont) and the rest of the Democrats in Congress who want to use our tax money and other savings, for the unemployed to stay unemployed. Just recently I was watching C-SPAN and listening to these baffling idiots say how extending the allowed time spans for an unemployed person to stay unemployed from 26 weeks (already past half a year) extend another 13 weeks equaling a grand total for someone to stay unemployed to 39 weeks. Yes 39 weeks almost 10 months. Now my question to you is how is giving money to someone going to help them get unemployed? How is this going to get us out of debit?

We can't sit and give people who don't work money and expect to make money and get out of debit, to get out of debit you have to sell products and export products while lowering our total imported products. One example of our debit going up is due to the amount of oil we import. Because of the price of oil we have to pay more and we spend more on the imported oil raising our debit. Now lets think about this.... If we can reduce our cost of oil and gasoline we can reduce the amount of money we spend, in return reducing the debit, and allowing companies and people to have more money to spend, allowing more people to get jobs, hence allowing our economy to flourish and grow.


Or we can listen to the democrat like Michigan Rep. Sander Levin who said how dare we even think about bringing oil into this debate about unemployment. What I ask Rep. Sander Levin is what he thinks the cause of this high unemployment rate is from? People..... everything we do this world revolves around energy, what we need to do is build more nuclear power plants, invest in researching new energy....... and here is an idea find new oil spots to drill at within our own country , allowing us to not depend on these middle eastern countries that make us pay $4 + on a gallon of gas. If we keep going the rate we are going we will be seeing $200 a barrel for crude oil, causing more people to not find new jobs because they can't afford the gas to go to job interviews or to even go back and forth to work.

What I'm trying to say is we can't just give money to people who our unemployed, it's not going to help people get a job by just giving them free money. This money should be put towards investing in new energy technology while also allowing us to drill within out own country for oil, The gas price is set based on the future if you did not know that, well you do now. If we say we are going to start drilling in America again for more oil, and allow new nuclear plants to be built in America we will then allow the price of oil and gasoline to drop to an affordable price. Drop our dependence on these middle easter countries and allow us to pull out of the wars going on there, not have our economy affected if someone dictator leader said he is going to blow up some other country. We will be Dependant on all this and again allow our debit amount to lower.Another idea we could sell oil to other countries again and oh my make a profit and allow new jobs to be created in America again!!

How Dare I say it, something to think about!!!!
