[butterfly77]

I have been wondering why I haven't heard anything from this asshole..


It is immoral to extend a meager monthly allowance to unemployed Americans still looking for work more than six months after losing their jobs, according to Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), which is why he and his fellow House conservatives are blocking Democrats’ efforts to reinstate the safety net program.

“I believe it is immoral for this country to have as a policy extending long-term unemployments [benefits] to people rather than us working on the creation of jobs,” Sessions said Tuesday on the House floor in response to questions about his party’s refusal to allow a vote on reinstating the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) progra

Pot <----> Kettle

2. C'mon now, you know he's been working hard to create jobs.

Congress is workin' on that day and night. All the time.

3. Rep. Sessions hasn't waked up to the fact that the entire right-wing agenda, ideology,

and mantra of effusive welfare for large corporations and the uber-wealthy through the internal revenue code, et al is blatantly immoral and in complete contravention of the promote the general welfare doctrine as enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. Sheer myopic and cockamamie hypocrisy.

5. And as if the government-sponsored burgeoning income disparity is not immoral. Only a cockamamie

right-wing turd would utter such utter heresy.

10. Not much is more immoral than paying a piece of shit like Sessions but

I've been forced to throw in for many years it seems now. I many millions of times prefer paying eternal unemployment than the begrudging little infinitesimal sliver I pay to dumpster fuck even for one second.

11. how many days did this guy actually work last year?

[butterfly77]

12. I suspect not many...

just like the rest of the gang.

[SomethingFishy]

17. 129 days last year...

For a 6 figure salary, health care, transportation, retirement benefits.. And we're the takers...

I notice he doesn't seem to think it's immoral for me to pay into unemployment every month, just for someone to get that money back.

14. Mr. Sessions,

Your constituents need to throw you on unemployment come November.
