That's A Mistake – Senators Wish To Extend Unemployment Benefits

They say that the squeaky wheel always gets the oil, and many of the citizens and voters that elected the liberal-socialist politicians realize that their squeakiness can get them more benefits from the government. Many folks who've lost their jobs are not working too hard to get new jobs because they are collecting unemployment benefits.

Unfortunately, if we over simplify such complex situations we are doing a disservice to the reality at hand. During the last presidential election, we noted that one of the candidates told the voters in Ohio that he was against NAFTA, because he said it hurts jobs in America.

Then when the same candidate went to Texas he said he was for NAFTA because many of his voters have family in Mexico, and there is quite a bit of trade between the United States and Mexico especially in places like San Antonio, Houston, Brownsville, and El Paso Texas. He stated that NAFTA helps provide jobs, and that trade was good for both countries.

One thing we have to be very careful with is the Old Christian adage; "you shouldn't give a man a fish, you should teach them to fish." Apparently, the Senators are more interested in getting re-elected in 2010 than they are about doing what is most prudent for our nation's treasury, our state government budgets, and keeping our workforce healthy, and desirable about getting back to work.

After all, why would anyone go get a job if they can get 20 more weeks of unemployment benefits without doing a thing?

I guess my point is that this selection does not surprise me at all. We will often be on the short end because of ill will towards us. As long as we continue to do what we think is the right thing for other people and other nations around the world we will just have to live with it.

We can never make serious decisions based on popularity alone
