It will impede some economic activity, it will be a disincentive. generally since we ve stopped extensions in the past of unemployment benefits at much lower unemployment rates in the 1980less we stopped it at a rate of 7.2%. we re nowhere near where we were in the past, and i think talking about the unemployment benefits as a disincentive to look for a job is somewhat cynical given how many millions of people are looking for jobs, how few job openings there are, how long people have already struggled and how slow we are in actually creating new jobs and getting the unemployment rate down. jeffrey, on the subject of the poor, rand paul, who is in the senate of the great state of kentucky, says it has kaugsd a controversy. let s listen together. the poor in our kun are enormously better off than the rest of the world. it doesn t mean we can t do ....
The most through this economic hurricane. it will put more money in the private sector, and ultimately protects the private sector that we have. so clearly this is the right policy going forward given how high unemployment is and how many people are looking for jobs and given how many more million have given up looking because they can t find jobs. jeffrey, how about the argument that many have advanced saying consumer spending is where we need a boost and by paying unemployment benefits, we ll be putting money in people s pockets who can go out and improve their spending power. do you find that persuasive? i think it s a powerful argument. if you only look at half of that, it sounds right. give them more cash, they would go out and buy things than they normally would, but you have to understand where that cash came from. it came from other taxpayers, so those taxpayers have less money ....

only man convicted of the lockerbie bombing released? at least four united states senators think so. plus, do unemployment benefits make people lazy? that s the case being made by a lot of republicans who say jobless prefer cashing government checks to going out and looking for work. we ll hear from both sides of that issue. and then there s this from karl rove in today s wall street journal . he said the biggest mistake he made in the white house was not defending president bush on charges he lied to get into the war. in fact, he insists it s the democrats that have been doing most of the lying. . i ll tell you what think of the black panthers intimidating people into voting for barack obama. to me it makes it no sense. let s begin with the bp spill in the gulf of mexico. bob, how did they get it to stop? good afternoon, michael. they cloegsed the last valve, t choke valve in, just about an hour ago. i was actually watching the feed when the announcement was mad ....
