Obama’s Labor Secretary: ‘We Saved Millions and Millions of Jobs’…by Extending Unemployment Benefits

Jan. 4, 2013 8:45pm Jason Howerton

Appearing on CNBC on Friday, President Barack Obama’s Labor Secretary Hilda Solis said “millions of jobs” were saved when Congress extended unemployment benefits in the “fiscal cliff” deal.

“What I think about is those two million people that would have lost their unemployment insurance. Because think about it, all that money that goes out in terms of what is being spent by that unemployment check, helps to generate $2 back into the community. So small businesses, everyone continues to keep their jobs,” Solis said.

“Just by the movement that the president made, we saved millions and millions of jobs.”

  Hasn’t someone told this bimbo that the United States Corporation (established in 1871)
  is broke ?
  
  Is this ignoramus aware that we have to borrow money from a PRIVATE BANK ( The FEDERAL RESERVE ) with INTEREST.
  
  Is she clueless to the fact that we trade Treasury Bonds ( Backed by America’s Assets ) for their Paper notes ?
  
  When we can’t buy the Bonds back, they sell them to foreign investors or trade them in for a peice of America.

  What does the Government need money for?
  
  Answer: Government Employees and the “Entitled”.
  
  The Social Security Administration is a Private Company and only a contractor for the Gov’t.
  They are responsible for the S.S. Trust fund. They are obligated to pay those who were promised.
  
  Those who paid into S.S. and Medicare are “entitled”. The rest can go pound sand.
  
  Time to Cut the Federal Government to about 10% of what it is, and cut off all Food Stamps and employment benefits, Gov’t subsidies, Grants, etc.
  
  NO MORE UNAPPORTIONED FEDERAL INCOME TAX. All taxes would be apportioned (sales tax only) and collected by the states.
  
  Quitting the U.N. and ending the Federal Reserve, is the only way we are going to save America from the Banksters.

  Ok, let me try and explain the EDD to you, and please do not trash me. I was laid off from the mtg industry in late 2007. The start of this recession. I NEVER had to apply for extenstions, NEVER! I received after the 26 weeks notifications advising me that my extension had already been filed for me. Ok, so I took the bait. I took the 99 weeks. The FED/EDD NEVER made me or encouraged me. Out of the 99 weeks, I only had to show proof of looking for work for 12 weeks on and off. It was unbelievable! They accept websites, craiglist posting etc. In that time, I became extremely aware of what the plan is. This is what the Govt does to get people on the dole, in hopes that we will continue to do so. NOT! Call me what you want, I was on the beginning side of this indocrintation. I was a Democrat when I was laid off and now I am a total Conservative, coupon clipping, fiscally responsible person. Please do not trash me, because I truly believe that many of you and others were shook awake by losing their jobs. I have been fortunate in recent years not to have to go back to work and use this time to educate myself and others.

  Liberals and Conservatives are ALL debt slaves to the International Bankster Cartel.
  
  You don’t have to be one or the other, either. Being an American is about Individuality.

  Gays rights – I am Liberal
  Fiscal Responsibility – I am Conservative
  Legalizing Drugs – I am Liberal
  Constitution – I am Conservative
  War – I am Liberal (opposed to these Campaigns)
  
  I was clueless 4 -5 years ago to what was going on. I wasn’t even aware of the media bias.
  
  Forget the politicians. It all boils down to their masters – The Banksters.

  If the idiots in Washington and the moron voters knew anything….it is not possible to stimulate an economy on $255 a week (the current max unemployment check in my state) – can’t cover the rent, untilities and food (bare basics) – but I guess when you are used to gov’t economics – where it doesn’t mater what your take home “pay” is in your relationship to spending.
  
  I guess the DC crowd thinks the real world allows for unlimited spending with limited income for indefinite time periods without financial implosion

  NO… U caused INFLATION.. This is because u gave federal funds to people to buy everyday living needs… The problem is that u do not do anything to increase the supply of these goods… Food energy clothes… So what you see is more demand for basic things, with no incentive to increase supply… Thus an increase in the cost of living and a lowering oh the standard of living for all of society by providing excessive unemployment benefits.. The outcome is an increase in the costs of basic goods

Unemployment insurance should not expire. It should not term out.

It’s an insurance policy, not a government program. People receiving unemployment insurance paid for the benefits. The insured only receive benefits when strict conditions are met. You don’t receive benefits if you quit a job. You don’t receive benefits unless you look for work.

If the premiums have to be adjusted, so be it.

  Strict conditions? The last time I was on unemployment for a brief period of time after being laid off several years ago all I had to do was call a phone number on Sunday night and push a coupe of buttons to “verify” I was “looking for and available for work.” Not exactly what I considered overboard monitoring. And from what I’ve heard it hasn’t gotten any tougher since then.

  Lizardbreath: Unemployment Insurance (UI) is very much a government program, actually 55 separate ones. Workers in each state, D.C., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Federal civilian employees, and military veterans separated under honorable conditions may file claims and collect benefits if certain conditions are met. Such benefits in most cases last for a maximum of six months. In cases of high unemployment there are extensions which may be made available. Then first set of UI benefits are paid for by funds the taxes paid by employers provide. Most of those funds have been depleted by current economic events. The tax rates on employers in severely hit states must rise to build up the exhausted funds. In the two federal programs as well as all the extensions, money is paid out of the federal treasury. That’s when all of us who pay taxes are on the hook and the gravy train won’t run for ever.

  What is wrong with you – Didn’t you read/hear that Obama took the seek work requirement off (fairly recently), so now you can sit on your tush, collect benefits and basically do nothing for months. The problem with people like you, is that when someone gets something for nothing in our society, someone else pays a price. Another example, the recent payroll tax increase that is shocking a lot of folks, let’s tax the wealthy more, so the middle class pays more in the end. Look at France right now, the only thing that they are exporting is wealthy people. Who is going to end up paying for their stupid socialist state?. I’ll tell you who, the average folks will and eventually end up with nada, creating social/political unrest.

  The “unemployment insurance” is paid for by employers for the first 26 weeks, then the Federal government(taxpayers) then cover the rest up to 99 weeks. Our Labor secretary is a maroon. Every dollar that is taken out of your paycheck in taxes, 35 cents is taken out in administrative fees, and the moochers only get 65 cents in benefits.
  Besides Employment payments the moocher can qualify for:
  Welfare payments
  Food Stamps (often redeemed for cigs and beer)
  Section 8 housing
  Utility payments
  Obama phones
  High speed internet.
  
  A single mother with 2 rug rats can qualify for up to 50K in tax free government help with unemployment .

  Why do you associate pot smoking with leftists? You seem to not understand the following:
  
  1. There are many on the right who smoke weed recreationally, particularly lots of libertarians.
  2. There is no correlation between marijuana usage and being on public assistance – this has been extensively studied.
  3. The “gateway” theory is total mythology. The truth is hard core addicts of any drug are almost always people with serious emotional/psychological/personality disorders.
  
  That doesn’t mean all pot smokers are responsible – neither are all beer drinkers. You guys on the right need to stop lumping together Progressive-Marxism with Atheism and pot smoking. I’m a pot smoking, small “l” libertarian (meaning i’m not an anarchist kook or Ron Paul supporter), more along the lines of Friederich Hayek’s views. There are many of us out here who are so tired of the right just lumping these things together and smearing people.
  
  Fyi, I’m in the top 2% income-wise, am an executive, have raised an amazing daughter and accomplished tremendous things in my life. I also don’t drink alcohol because it makes me feel sick afterwards and also makes me do stupid things while drunk that I often regretted later. Not the case on weed. You do have to be careful not to smoke too much as it does make you spacey. I also am surprised that so many people of my generation (I’m 50) are such absolutists about weed given how commonly it was used by us and our peers.

  Actualy just a slip of the tounge.What she meant to say was they transfered millions of job’s from the private sector to the government payroll. See they work for the government now. We pay them to sit at home.

  CIVIL. Hit the nail on the head : tax the nasty private sector ” rich” to transfer money to Big Brother who can then redistribute it to his dumb, dysfunctional, needy, vote-getting PUBLIC base ! Bingo !

What kind of twisted thinking do these people work under? I understand.. supposedly these unemployed are spending money they are receiving… on their bills! If they are making enough on unemployment to have enough extra to be stimulating the economy.. something is very, very wrong with this. oops… guess this is where we really step in it!

In my opinion, Obama’s Labor Secretary is a LIAR, just like him.

  As far as the medical marijuana is concerned, the Federal government has made a cash cow off the illegal “war on drugs”. The government has no Constitutional right to control a natural plant, and the propaganda against marijuana is wrongheaded. Go to cannabis dot com. Many people are waking up to the fact that his herb is not bad or immoral, it is the government which is immoral. You need to wake up to the fact that 2 out of 3 people in our prisons are there on drug related charges and that our leadership are taking power and wealth away from the people and using it to keep them enslaved and stupid.

  OUTLAW; Yes. We really need more drugs on the market. Just like we need more of the Chicago radicals’ economic policies….
