Tax cuts and Unemployment votes

Here is the historical data from the US Dept. of Labor Bureau of Statistics. Funny how the last big (and highest) spike was under the Reaganomics regime. As you can see, it isn't as high yet as it was then. I predict it will peak roughly where it did then and will start to go back down as it did then. If it keeps rising and does not show signs of a drop, then I'll panic. After all, most conservatives think Ronnie was wonderful don't they? &nbs ...

I think it is possible, but this man is 80 years old and lost his job 16 months ago and is since then collecting unemployment and social security benefits. My question is: Is there an age limit for receiving unemployment benefits? I doubt that this man, aged 80, is looking for a job! He told me that he is so happy looking for ...

Quote from S&P on downgrade: Compared with previous projections, our revised base case scenario now assumes that the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, due to expire by the end of 2012,remain in place. We have changed our assumption on this because the majority of Republicans in Congress continue to resist any measure that would raise revenues, a position we believe Congress reinforced by passing the act. ...

A financial pundit, James Galbraith, suggested: We have a large cohort of people who have been displaced by a major economic crisis,” he says. “It's utterly ridiculous to make them subsist on unemployment insurance, when in fact, there aren’t going to be jobs. This is not a temporary condition for a great many people.” Galbraith claims lowering the retirement age would solve that problem. It's a win-win, he says, allowing those nearing retirement a ...

Extending the Bush tax cuts: Human nature? Of all the coverage of the debate over whether or not to extend the Bush tax cuts, and there is plenty today, given that the White House appears to be quietly giving ground to Republicans on extending the tax cuts temporarily, today's money quote comes via Howard Kurtz over at The Daily Beast. He quotes former President George W. Bush communications director Dan Bartlett as saying, "We knew that, politically, once you get [a tax cut] into la ...
