>>> Have you ever seen what an unemployment check looks like? Its a pittance.

FYI, they don't use "unemployment checks" anymore. They just give you a freaking debit card and you go for it.

Paying people NOT to work was one of the dumbest things ever done. And extending it out past a year is even dumber. Statistically, we know that people on unemployment don't look for jobs until the last month of their benefits.

It is totally counterproductive, like pretty much everything you goofs do when you get yourselves in power for a little while.
