Some people WILL slip through the cracks.
If those crack slippers can swallow their atheism, their church is there to help.

(1)How do you reconcile the huge disparity between people looking for work and the number of available jobs? 5 out of every 6 or 4 out of every 5 isn't exactly a few slipping through the cracks. (2) And why would you believe that a tax cut for the wealthiest individuals would create jobs, when the current evidence is that that same economic class is just sitting on their cash? (3)Virtually everything paid out in unemployment benefits is put back into the economy, but giving a tax break to people who already have more than enough is going to take it out of circulation and into their piggy banks. Doesn't it make sense that continuation of unemployment benefits is going to do more for the economy?
(4)It also looks like you are suggesting that only Godly people deserve help. Is that accurate?
At least we have a new moniker for poor people - "crack slippers." And the right wing has been complaining about liberal elitist attitudes.
I have numbered my questions for easy identification.
