U.S. Rep Allyson Schwartz, a candidate for governor, believes “failing to extend unemployment benefits hurts our economic recovery." Following this logic, wouldn’t it be better for our economy if the government didn’t just extend the benefits but rather doubled the benefits that were extended? Better yet, why not have the government pay everyone $500 a week? Our economy would go through the roof.
No wonder this country is in such economic trouble, with geniuses like that in Washington. Doesn’t Pennsylvania have enough problems without putting Allyson Schwartz’s financial wizardry to work here?
