Yes it does, or should. We have a huge defense and homeland security budget. The government must quit hiding spending. See setting aside monies for emergencies is good policy. Suddenly borrowing for them is bad policy. Simple really.

it’s bad policy, but the time to stand up for abstract policy ideology is not over unemployment benefits, that’s the very definition of Not The Time

It’s like scolding someone lying on the ground after they’ve been hit by a car instead of calling 911. “You shoulda looked both ways! Durp de durp! Don’t you feel dumb?”
