:What do you mean by that? I didn't paint myself into a corner.:

You made false claims. When I pointed it out, you ran.

"Which should be intuitively obvious even to an idiot."

I have to wonder about your 'intuition'.

"If you are paying people to NOT work more, as much, or ALMOST as much to stay home and watch Oprah as they can make (which is definitely the case for MANY, if not MOST people on unemployment),"

There you go. Making stuff up again. It very well may be what you would do. But that doesn't mean most are like you.

"The point is about incentive."

There is plenty of incentive. If, for no other reason, a lot of people enjoy being around others.

"Hardly original thought on my part. We've known it for years."

Not hardly. For example.

"There is no evidence that a meaningful economic recovery can be "created" through government hiring. None at all. "

This, if true, is a new principle.

"and specifically has been shown by Jim Powell in his excellent treatise "FDR's Folly". "

Jim Powell is a fellow at the Cato Institute. The Cato Institute is philosophically opposed to anything like the New Deal. They are hardly objective critics.
