On the recordJuly 22, 2010
When it comes to providing unemployment benefits for people who had no responsibility for getting us here, when it comes to the question of who is going to pay the price, should it be the victims of these reckless decisions, the squandering of choices that we had to make the right decision at the right time to build jobs? Should the people who are the victims of reckless policies in Washington--and in many cases by the Republican administration, in some cases because of joint lax regulation by both administrations, Democratic and Republican--are we going to impose the burden of those bad choices on the people who had no responsibility and are the victims? That would be wrong.
