CNBC host Jim Cramer and White House advisor Gene Sperling appeared on Meet the Press on Sunday where he was asked for their takes on the debate over extending long-term unemployment insurance. During the segment, Cramer tore into how Democrats go about pursuing job creation policies and offered the party some messaging advice which will allow them to gain public support for their existing policies.

Cramer began by dismissing Sen. Rand Paul’s (R-KY) who suggestion that perpetual unemployment may hamper an individual’s ability to be competitive. He added that creating the conditions where employers begin hiring at a more rapid pace should be the goal, but it is also an imperative that the unemployed have access to basic necessities.
