There sometimes comes a time in a person's life when you give up on that dream of replacing the decently paying job you lost with another decently paying job. Rand Paul, Republican nominee for Senate from Kentucky, believes that time is now.

In an interview with WVLK-AM in Lexington, Kentucky on Friday, Paul told host Sue Wylie he supported the Republican filibuster last week of more than $100 billion in emergency spending that includes extended jobless benefits. Paul said the bill must be paid before the extension is voted into law -- and if that can't happen, it's time for America's unemployed to face facts and stop holding out for jobs similar to the ones they've lost.

"As bad as it sounds, ultimately we do have to sometimes accept a wage that's less than we had at our previous job in order to get back to work and allow the economy to get started again," he said. "Nobody likes that, but it may be one of the tough love things that has to happen."

1. So apparently the economy "won't get started again" until the unemployed "choose"

to go back to work.

Who knew it was that simple!?

Unbelievable...

Didn't think so.

4. Rand Paul is God's Gift to Democrats

I can't believe the GOP hasn't slapped a muzzle on this guy yet.

5. I think he will soon know what it is like to be unemployed

if I were someone who wanted my eyes examined I sure wouldn't go to a doctor who certified himself.
