Economy Etc.

UI benefits do NOT "encourage" the unemployed to remain unemployed longer. What kind of fucked up thinking is that?

Greg Walden is proving he's another heartless, brainless nitwit who is part of the problem in D.C.

There aren't enough jobs because our D.C. politicians won't do shit about the ruinous trade policies or create any jobs programs to jumpstart the economy.

The economy continues to go into the ditch.
