Jay Carney Bashes WSJ Reporter, Claims Unemployment Checks Create Jobs

Press Secretary Jay Carney has gotten testy with reporters lately, specifically Fox’s Ed Henry. But now he’s turned his ire on the Wall Street Journal.

Yesterday, a Journal reporter asked how the White House can claim that extending unemployment insurance actually creates jobs. Carney didn’t want to be challenged, and so he quickly attacked the messenger:

“Oh, uh, it is by, uh, I would expect a reporter from the Wall Street Journal would know this as part of the entrance exam.”

Ouch. After putting down his sword, he then went on to answer the question:

“It is one of the most direct ways to infuse money directly into the economy because people who are unemployed and obviously aren’t running a paycheck are going to spend the money that they get. They’re not going to save it, they’re going to spend it. And with unemployment insurance, that way, the money goes directly back into the economy, dollar for dollar virtually."

Old Pudfark sez: " Where ever Jay Carney went to school, they need to refund his tuition and if'n that ain't enuf, unemploy him...and he can help the other millions of folks...bail out the economy...one handout at a time... "

REALLY I'd like him to show me what kind of unemployment he was on that he's have all this money to spend. I've been on unemployment. it wasn't enough to make my mortgage let alone but food on my table and to pay my bills.
