That's what congressman Jim McDermott of Washington and other Democrats say.
In the words of John McEnro, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS." Well, if that's true, why don't we put everyone on unemployment and really get the economy going again?
Why do the brains of Democrats sell for thousands of dollars per pound? Because it takes so many Democrats to get a whole pound. :lamo

I would definitely like to see a source on this.
Lots of hits. Here is a starter. (Media Matters is on board with it....)
Pelosi: Unemployment benefits create more jobs than any other initiative | Washington Examiner
UPDATED: Pelosi was right: Economists say unemployment insurance stimulates the economy | Media Matters for America

Believe Pelosi is on record with a couple of quotes to that subject. Pushing the concept that Unemployment Benefits are the most efficient way to inject cash into the economy. Which in itself may actually be true, but it is sort of clumsy path to follow for getting us out of a recession and expanding an economy.
btw....the political joke was pretty funny. (And a friendly template for the opposition as well. Very flexible.).
Unemployment benefits increase demand for various goods which does stimulate the economy. Making remarks about putting everyone on unemployment, however, is just asinine. You can't just extrapolate anything that anyone says to extremes and assume it still represents their views. Here's an example:
Conservatives favor lower taxes.
Therefore, conservatives favor having no taxes at all.
Therefore, conservatives favor disbanding the United States as an entity entirely, as the government would not be able to operate at any level.
Therefore, conservatives want to eliminate America. Why do conservatives hate America?
Get it?
I would definitely like to see a source on this.
Turn on a news program with a Democrat talking about unemployment extentions. I can't believe you people are so uninformed but OK, I'll spoon feed you. Here:
Pelosi says food stamps and unemployment benefits help grow the economy
Pelosi says food stamps and unemployment benefits help grow the economy - Democratic Leaders - Helium
So, as I stated, if unemployment is so great for the economy, let's get a whole bunch more on unemployment and get the economy off bottom dead center.
Of course Pelosi also said we'd have to pass the health care bill to find out what's in it too so you'll have to decide for yourself how much sense she makes.
We thought you were saying McDermott was saying that unemployment in itself boosts the economy, not the extension of unemployment benefits.
