“Inevitably, people tell me that poor folks are lazy or unintelligent, that they are somehow deserving of their poverty. However, if you begin to look at the sociological literature on poverty, a more complex picture emerges. Poverty and unemployment are part and parcel of our economic order. Without them, capitalism would cease to function effectively, and in order to continue to function, the system itself must produce poverty and an army of underemployed or unemployed people.” PeopleIfsLooksOrderLiteraturePoorPovertyEconomicProduceCapitalismFunctionArmyComplexesFolksCeaseLazyUnemploymentDeservingUnemployedParcelSociologicalUnintelligentEconomic OrderUnderemployed Author:Bob Torres

“The current economic crisis...has numerous causes and sends a powerful message about the need for a profound revision of the model of global economic development. It's an acute symptom that is added to other more grave and already well-known ones, such as the continued imbalance between wealth and poverty, the scandal of hunger, the ecological emergency and the problem of unemployment, which has now become general. In this context a strategic re-launching of agriculture appears decisive.” NeedsWellsProblemCausesWealthPowerfulKnownPovertyEconomicLandDevelopmentMessagesModelsCrisisProfoundHungerCurrentsGravesAgricultureUnemploymentWell KnownSymptomsScandalEmergenciesStrategicEcologicalRevisionEconomic DevelopmentImbalanceLaunchingEconomic CrisisWealth And Poverty Author:Pope Benedict XVI
“There are going to be a lot of questions, not just in my country, but across the Middle East. Is Israel going to continue to be "Fortress Israel"?

And no matter what's happening in the Middle East - the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment - the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.” WayBelieveCountryMatterMovingI BelieveChallengesIssuesEconomicMiddleEmotionalSpringHappeningsHarmonyNo Matter WhatRateIsraelCriticalEastAcceptedMoving ForwardNeighborhoodMiddle EastPalestinianUnemploymentIsraeliFortressesArab Spring Author:Abdallah II
“The skills and productivity of American Workers, not to mention the taxes they pay, are the greatest economic resource our country has.

“When we reject unemployment as an economic instrument as we do and when we reject also superficial remedies, as socialists must, then we must ask ourselves unflinchingly what is the cause of high unemployment. Quite simply and unequivocally, it is caused by paying ourselves more than the value of what we produce. There are no scapegoats.” ValuesAsksCausesEconomicProduceInstrumentsRejectsRemedySuperficialUnemploymentScapegoat Book:Time and chance Source: Time and chance
“Rather than providing him with economic opportunity, the Act of that name seems designed to make the poor man do penance all his life for the sin of being born into a non-capital-owning family...

“The single biggest stimulus to the economy are the unemployment benefits we're paying. These people go out and they spend the money.

“Until the 1930s, the Constitution served as a major constraint on federal economic interventionism. The government's powers were understood to be just as the framers intended: few and explicitly enumerated in our founding document and its amendments. Search the Constitution as long as you like, and you will find no specific authority conveyed for the government to spend money on global-warming research, urban mass transit, food stamps, unemployment insurance, Medicaid, or countless other items in the stimulus package and, even without it, in the regular federal budget.” LongGovernmentEconomicAuthorityMajorsMassResearchUnderstoodConstitutionBudgetsGlobal WarmingAmendmentsUrbanDocumentsUnemploymentFoundingStampsItemsPackagesStimulusConstraints1930sFramersFood StampsMedicaidInterventionismMass Transit Author:Robert Higgs
“In the name of compassion, Obama advocates seemingly endless extensions of unemployment benefits because his economic theology holds that by paying people not to work, you will create jobs. It not only fails to factor in the obvious deterrent that extended benefits have on their recipients but also falsely assumes that transferring money from one pocket to the next generates more spending - by some mythical multiple factor, no less.
