Why Are Republicans Socking It to the Unemployed?

Why Are Republicans Socking It to the Unemployed?
"Paul and his colleagues think that by cutting off unemployment insurance to millions of Americans, they’re actually motivating them to get jobs.
 And that’s fine if there are jobs to get. But there aren’t.
 As of November, there were 10.9 million unemployed Americans. Yet, employers only added 203,000 jobs last month.
 While those new jobs might help the economy, they’re obviously not enough to put all unemployed Americans back to work.
 But Republicans don’t get that."
