Lane, re: "In any case, Ed, I don't see how you can reasonably interpret objection to that as some "dark side" opposition to unemployment insurance."

Here's what I said...to Tim...regarding the "dark side."

To say, as you do, that people who just don't want to work anymore are gaming the system does those drawing such benefits a real disservice.

(Shades of "welfare queens" bitching by those who want to see all entitlement programs as being dominated by greedy, grasping, shamsters taking money out of the hands of hard working Americans like yourself?)

Get away from the dark side and join those of us who can see the light.

As you can see, my point was that he was too quick to label a great program, and one that he understood poorly, as one where people who don't want to work were gaming the system. Ed
