Schultz Wants 'Unlimited' Benefits

Ed Schultz is mad at the Republicans for wanting to cut unemployment insurance benefits.

Ed Schultz has come out in favor of limitless government benefits.

Responding to the Ryan-Murray budget deal that was passed by the House yesterday, Schultz berated House Democrats for giving Republicans "everything they want" and forsaking the unemployed.

Republicans and Democrats have decided that 1.3 million people are SOL, too bad, suck it up!

Schultz then called for removing any limits on unemployment benefits.

You can come up with all kinds of excuses as to why we can't extend unemployment benefits in this country. We're wealthy, but we're not that wealthy right? That's what the Republicans are saying. Here's what I think! I think that we should have unlimited unemployment benefits for as long as it takes! Because we give tax breaks to the corporations. In fact, one in four corporations don't pay any taxes at all!

Ed got the "one in four corporations" line from a frequent guest on his show, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). PolitiFact gives it a "half truth" on their radar.
