Poverty in the USA is a scandal

[Minimalist]

And yet, that is the mantra of the republibertarianeo-conazis.

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, the Republican whip, argued that unemployment benefits dissuade people from job-hunting "because people are being paid even though they're not working."

Unemployment insurance "doesn't create new jobs. In fact, if anything, continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work," Kyl said during debate over whether unemployment insurance and other benefits that expired amid GOP objections Sunday should be extended.

The good news is that this particular senile old fuck is retiring from the senate.....to be replaced I'm sure by another fascist shitwit because that seems to be all that Arizona can manage.
