Tom Delay Thinks Unemployed People Are Lazy
On Sunday, March 6, former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, who was forced to step down amid legal scandal in 2006, appeared on CNN's State of The Union, lauding Jim Bunning's (R-KY) one man fillibuster against the extension of COBRA and unemployment benefits.
"You know," Delay said, "there is an argument to be made that these extensions of unemployment benefits keep people from going and finding jobs. In fact there are some studies that have been done that show people stay on unemployment compensation and they don't look for a job until two or three weeks before they know the benefits are going to run out."
