MS. PRIVATE SCHOOL MIKA BRZEZINSKI SNUBS HER NOSE AT THE JOBLESS, HOMELESS. POOR AND DISADVANTAGED BY ASKING "HOW MUCH OF THE STIMULUS IS "WELFARE"?"

-
Mika Brzezinski, co-host of "Morning Joe" and daughter of former National Security Advisor to President Jimmy Carter, seems to be snubbing her nose at the jobless, homeless, poor and disadvantaged by asking how much of the stimulus is "welfare"?."
-
Experts say that if you give tax cuts to those at the lower rung of the economic ladder (which includes low-income wage earners and those who are on unemployment), they will spend more on things that stimulate the economy than those at the higher rungs. Hence, why you want to give that group tax cuts.
-
We've already covered (in a previous post) how "family planning" saves money ..but that point is moot since it was removed from the stimulus plan.
-
Mika, poor choice of words or something else? You could have said social agenda, but she used the negatively and racially charged word "welfare".
-
What do you think readers?
