10%+ unemployment means almost 90% of those officially in the work force are working, and a majority of the total population (including children, stay at home parents who's spouses work, students, retired people, and other categories who aren't in the workforce or are less likely to be part of it).

Look Tim, we are discussing another right wing exaggeration...at this pace you guys will run out of bullshit to throw at this subject...the problem in the sentence is not that those who can find work will not work harder simply because extra earnings may mean that they lose a piddly federal subsidy for health care...the problem is the 10%, what it means to those who are looking for work, and the ones who have work as well...

"People who are receiving multiple government benefits may actually be worse off if they start working and its not that good of job."

It would have to be a part time, minimum wage job for that to be true. At least here in Texas.
