The average unemployment check in the U.S. is $293. That's $12K a year. I doubt even a single person in a low wage state like MS could live on those few dollars.

Ignoring your math .... I'll just tell you there are loads of people in this country that can live fat and happy on that.

I know someone who quits work every year for a month or so when he gets his tax refund (boosted by the EITC) ..... till its all spent .... then goes back to work.
