Good for Senator Jim Bunning.I liked him as a Detroit Tiger and I like him still. Someone is actually getting serious and honoring the Democrats pay-go bill.The Democrats don’t seem to honor there own bill, but Senator Bunning is calling their bluff.
He got all of our attention to a very serious issue. Run away spending, actually out of control spending. There won’t be any harm done, just a little inconvenience. If we were to have a catastrophic flood in the next day or two we all know the government would step in, and take care of the situation, and probably find a way to transfer the funds.
the elderely who need treatment, will still get treatments from their doctor today
As far an unemployment some people need it, but some are milking the system. Case in point I have a family member who is in his 50’s and stays at his parents house. He never works more than he has to for unemployment benefits. He has done this for years. He laughs and jokes everytime there is an extension. I am sure he is not the only one who has learned to ride the Gravy Train of our government handouts. I am not suggesting that the majority of the unemployed are like my family member, but there are way too many people riding the gravy train.
Our government system has grown to be a true Nanny state. Take from the hard working Americans to give to those who choose a different lifestyle.
Yes things will be as normal tomorrow or the following day. It was just refreshing to have someone in Congress stand up and say enough all ready. Let’s get serious about this over spend and over tax those who are hard working Americans.
Agent from AZ – Why don’t you report your family member to the unemployment board in your state? I am sure there are plenty just like him, being coddled by family members like yourself, and pushing the cost off on hard-working citizens. It’s your fault as much as it is his. Your family member will be a much better human being and member of society when he learns the value of taking care of himself.
JMHO makes a good point; there are many that milk the system and we all pay for it. There is no accountability. It’s human nature to take if it’s there, especially as it relates to entitlement programs. Once unemployment benefits are extended, people automatically relax job hunting activities b/c they know they have funds coming in and they don’t have to work for. Why find a job and lose free money?
I agree!! Turn in your family member. His parents should be proud of the great job they have done. Basically teaching their kid to steal. I would have no problem turning in one of my family members. They should have a hot line to report these criminals. JMHO, I would volunteer at the hot-line. I guess i was raised by ok parents. My sister was kicked out of the house when she called in sick when she wasn’t sick. My parents took things to extreme howver I was the youngest and it stuck with me.
Xerxes is right about human nature unless the human is raised to value hard work and independence. But times are extraordinarily tough now, for both the good guy and the bad guy. The true unemployment rate is probably 3 – 4 times higher than under the best of circumstances, so benefits need to be extended to help those who ordinarily help themselves, and will still want to help themselves even if the benefits are extended. The question is: How do we tell the good guys from the bad guys? You can’t, and it’s not fair to punish the good because of the bad.
Have we cut business taxes yet? Let’s create jobs at companies that provide health insurance, and knock out both issues with a market-based solution.
I will volunteer at the Hot Line with you! I think your parents raised you just fine. Re you sister: It probably wasn’t the only thing she had done to deserve the kick out the door. How is she doing today?
Meanwhile I can’t wait to see how the new crop of ADHD medicated citizens survive in the real world.
Is what my family member doing the right thing. of course not. Is it ethical not in my opinion, however is it illegal? Not at all. Please don’t tell me you don’t know anyone who takes advantage of our government’s system, because it is so rampant I believe you do.

Just wait, it will get worse. And then INFLATION!
Spending bills are defined by the amount of money spent, and when it shall be spent.
It’s scary to think that you people vote!

My son is ADHD so the comment about people on meds was mean spirited.
It appears that most of you are throwing red herrings around for someone to chase.
Be nice to each other-it makes for a better day in an otherwise tedious industry.
