story is it s stimulative to the economy. it s a win-win all the way around. dean heller, who is the senator from nebraska, who s joined with the democrats in calling for an extension of unemployment benefits, i thought he said it very well. providing a safety net for those in need is one of the most important functioning of the federal government. the fact that you get more money back out of the economy. because people who are desperate, who need money and get that money, they spend it right away. unlike the ceos, who are making millions of tax-subsidized dollars, they put them in offshore accounts. this helps america. and i want to point out, that the democrats ton ways and means committee, so this is a partisan set of numbers, but the democrats on the ways and means kme have estimated that people lost $400 million in the first week alone. and again, even beyond the question of a sort of ethical response to those households, this idea of $400 million, it doesn t go into stimulating
