John Stewart: Fox News is Wrong About Unemployment

[flpoljunkie]

As usual, Jon Stewart was not pleased with Fox News last night, this time because they hit Nancy Pelosi for saying unemployment benefits help stimulate the economy. "I would love to know what economists say that," the Fox and Friends hosts wondered.

So Stewart took a trip out to his supply closet, where he apparently keeps renowned economist Nouriel Roubini tied to a chair, and asked him what he thinks.

Roubini agreed with Pelosi, then called out "I'm thirsty! Water! Please!"

2. An increase in employment

would bring about a drop in Fox viewers.

[frazzled]

3. Just when I thought TDS was getting a tad boring ... we get this

We saw it last night and were in awe of the twisted comic genius that envisioned this. Yay, I'm back on with TDS.

5. Send a check to EVERY adult person without a job

not just those who qualify for unemployment.
Then we will have a rip roaring economy...!!!

That means 70 million extra checks floating in the economy!
WOW...that should perk up the economy.

And I am not saying that just because I don't have a job hehe...
