You are fucking killing me!!!!! :lol2:

And you think Nobama is going to fix this! :rolleyes:

Who said that? Not me. Only that I can't watch that guy who is a Clintonite getting rich off people like you that watch him.

I didn't say that. I never said that. PLEASE show me where I said anything NEAR that.

I just happened to catch that particular show. I don't normally watch it. But the interview was a good one, and just because he worked for Clinton doesn't make his show invalid.

I think he and Monica may have been fighting for the spot under the desk.

:rolleyes:

In fact, his reason for not accepting the unemployment insurance extension funds in the stimulus bill is completely baseless and purely political.

Which is why when Jindal was in Congress in 2005, he co-sponsored a bill with a provision to extend federal unemployment benefits to workers who lost jobs due to Katrina for up to one year.

Now that he wants to be a potential presidential candidate for 2012..its time to play to the base and oppose a provision in the stimulus bill that would extend unemployment benefits for up to 20 weeks.

Can you say hypocrite?

*Stepping back now to watch the MercSugar show*

I saved you a seat and :corn:

I do enjoy live theater...but the plot is too predictable.

I don't believe you can back that up, since he is actually a Gov and you are a nameless faceless collection of 1's and 0's. But anyway SC and GA gov are talking about the same thing. The spending package for the states come with strings attached. Among those strings are the fact that they would be required to open up the pool of people who are actually eligible for aid and in the long run that would make the problem worse since the money being offered would not cover the long term costs. So yea, they are right. I would turn it down too and I hope our Gov does so.

But you haven't seen the special guest star yet.... can you guess who it will be?

Merc...please point to the "strings attached" language to the unemployment insurance provisions in the stimulus bil. You can find the full text of the bill on recovery.gov website.

Cite the section of the bill, please.

BTW, you can find Jindal's co-sponsorship of the bill to extend unemployment benefits for a year here. and the provision in that bill... "“The President shall make such assistance available for 52 weeks after the date of the disaster declaration”...

Extending unemployment benefits for up to 52 weeks in '05 when Bush is in the White House - good
Extending unemployment benefits for up to 20 weeks in '09 when Obama is in the White House and you might want to challenge him in '12 - bad

Now stop interacting with the audience and go find that cite in the stimulus bill and read it aloud before the close of this act of the play!

Oh please let it be UG! I need another heaping helping of his worldly banter to brighten my day. lol

Google it. There is only a 2 year window for the funds with strings attached. Every news source is carrying it. You don't have to believe it. Facts are facts, I hope we turn it down.

SO you cant cite it. I got it.

What strings are attached?

Why is it you only believe what Republicans say and is carried in the media?
