Unemployment runs over a year now. Keeps the economy from going into a death spiral.

The federal unemployment part goes from 6 months to one year whenever unemployment exceeds a certain threshold. SUpposed to be counter-cylical.

on making ends meet. This is the most important thing for the common man. 'make ends meet'.
Early in life I had a lesson on that. 1975.

Then I decide never ever to have less than 6 months in the bank. It was possible and it is possible for every man in the planet.

It is just to "calibrate" your spending. Live below your means. I have lived below my means ever since.

The result is that a safety net provided by the state give the false impression to common men that they can spend, and the state save for him. TOTAL MISTAKE!!!
