RUSH: The president came out today and said we\u2019re going to extend unemployment benefits. He officially used the ‘recession\u2019 word, big job losses, unexpected. Why are these unexpected? Obama told us. Obama told us not long ago we\u2019re going to lose millions of jobs, before we create millions more, or save millions more, what have you. Anyway, I understand the need for this unemployment compensation extension, I do. But, folks, a little tough love here. It is this kind of thing that is, over time, going to destroy a lot of people\u2019s initiative. It\u2019s a delicate balance here, but a lot of times in dire circumstances people get creative and get ambitious because of need. I keep hearing people say, ‘Well, the Great Depression, it can\u2019t happen again. I mean we\u2019ve got the safeguards built in there, it can\u2019t happen again.\u2019 It got me thinking, well, why did the Great Depression happen? If we can prevent a Great Depression by simply expanding unemployment benefits and bailing out banks and printing money, why didn\u2019t we do that in the Great Depression? Why didn\u2019t FDR just do that? Why did we go through all those years of pain and 25% unemployment, why did we do that? The safeguards are obviously very easy. So we\u2019re not going to have another Great Depression, eh? The more people that lose jobs that we continue to pay the fewer people I guarantee you down the road are going to be inspired to want to go back to work, and that\u2019s the downside of all this, and that, sadly, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the hoped-for results by many liberal Democrats in Washington today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
