Not Extending Unemployment Benefits: Government Malpractice Or Just Plain Evil

The majority of the Congress should have, you know, their heads on pikes over this utterly insane failure to extend unemployment benefits.  Set aside the human suffering and fuckheaded cruelty of denying basic assistance to unemployed workers in a time of admitted 7% unemployment--which with record low labor participation, underemployment, forced part-time schedules, and criminally low wages is probably more effectively an actual 15-20% unemployment rate--the macroeconomic consequences of refusing to extend benefits are horrible.  This is the shit that will hurt the fucking Koch Brothers and the retards in the Walton family, along with local communities and everyone who earns or spends money.  Hell, if the assholes in congress didn't pass a budget at all and ONLY extended unemployment benefits AND increased food stamps, that would have been an almost best-case scenario.  Not extending unemployment benefits in this economy solely because too many Republicans can only achieve an erection when they imagine black and brown people suffering and their children going hungry is stupid economic policy, and if the Dems and Republicans can't understand this basic concept, then they have no business being in any positions of power, so line up Erik Loomis's spare pikes, and when you are done get some new congress critters and a new president who have more than two brain cells to rub together.
