More Liberal Lunacy Or How The Liberals Love Wal-Mart And McDonalds

I swear writers from the satire newspaper, the Onion, write for the Democrats.
Seriously, the unemployment compensation are a great stimulus? Let's look at this lunacy:
Unemployment payments may run up to $400 a week. Will that money buy a new car or even a used car? Will that money buy a house? Will that money pay for a vacation? Will that money buy any nights out on the town? Will people go out to eat at restaurants? Maybe McDonalds and Taco Bell but that's about it.
So, maybe the unemployment compensation will stimulate big chain stores like Wal-Mart, McDonalds and Taco Bell, but they won't help local and small business. In Vegas, people on unemployment will go to the Wal-Mart grocery store but they will not go to Vons or Albertsons, which are more expensive. They will go to McDonalds or Taco Bell, if they do go out, and they won't go to Roberto's, Olive Garden or the casino buffets.
It makes one wonder what kind of drugs the liberal politicians are smoking in Washington D.C.
