As opposed to extending unemployment benefits, which has proven to do wonders for our economy.

Maybe Touré’s onto something. Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong!

Stop working all! RT @Toure: Many in poverty are working poor w two jobs. So "jobs" is an ineffective anti poverty program.

Heh.

Seriously, though, has Touré ever even read a pamphlet on basic economics?
