>> Funding continuous unemployment runs counter to that purpose. I would even argue that it destroys the Keynesian model.

This is a perfect example of leftism at its worst.

Have these nitwits considered the anti-stimulative effects of taxing employers year in, year out to fund these programs, the additional bureaucracy created by the compliance burden, or the massive pile of taxpayer dollars handed out in this welfare program?

Most importantly, have the idiots considered the consequences of chronically reinforcing the undesirable behavior of sitting home unemployment?

13 weeks of unemployment benefits is plenty. One can rationalize that the so-called "safety net" is required. Anything beyond that is nothing more than a big fat welfare check.
