yes, theft is the purest form of capitalism - 100% profit

Dude, I've embarrased myself on here too but this is awesome

In case you missed econ101 it's entirely possible to achieve profits in excess of 100%. It's not common in the major market sectors but some folks on here might chime in some examples.

Here is a clue for you:

UI? Savings? Property equity? Investment interest?
Other partner still working?

i forgot about that stuff, and there should be plenty left over after they pay the mortgage too.

GOP to the Unemployed: Drop Dead (You Bums)

On Sunday, unemployment benefits officially ended for hundreds of thousands of Americans, thanks to maneuverings by Senate Republicans to prevent a vote that would have extended those benefits. Unless the extension is passed soon, some 1.1 million of the nation's unemployed will see their unemployment expire in the coming month, and 5 million will lose benefits by June.

The House finally voted to extend benefits on Thursday, after several days of stalling and posturing. But in the Senate, the measure was blocked by Kentucky's Jim Bunning. Politico reported that late into Thursday night, Bunning held out against repeated Democratic attempts to pass the extension by unanimous consent. In response to entreaties from colleagues across the aisle, other Republican senators rose to defend Bunning's right to obstruct the vote, and Bunning himself was heard to utter, "Tough shit."

I definitely like to laugh at clueless people with delusions of grandeur. Using their "power" as unemployed consumers to force change is quite amusing. But hey - if they want to go to other stores and not buy anything, it keeps them from complaining on line!

Screw that. I never saw a union worth paying anything to, let alone while unemployed.

You are incapable of earning that without a union?
