I personally don't think it is good to have people dependent for so long on a government dole. It is bad for them and the economy. One can argue about what is "so long'. In other words reasonable minds can differ about it.

There are jobs out there in different sectors. For one thing, the trucking industry is crying for drivers at about 40k a year. Sure, it's not an ideal job, but it is living. So if the ending of unemployment forces people to take on things they wouldn't normally consider I consider that a good thing.

However, I also do think it is the government's responsibility to adopt polices that encourage economic growth and sponsor educational benefits that permit people to get the skills they need to participate in that economy.
I'm for teaching people to fish with government help on the tuition.
