No kidding. However, extending their unemployment helps them keep solvent until they can find jobs.

No, it keeps them solvent so they don't HAVE to find jobs.

LOL. Have you ever seen how much money you get on unemployment. Seriously, inode talk about something you know and doesn't involve your ideology.

If someone doesn't get a job within, oh, maybe, 36 weeks, he isn't trying.

To provide 100 weeks (2 yrs) of unemployment benefits is absurd.

You don't say. What a surprise that you would think that way.

"If someone doesn't get a job within, oh, maybe, 36 weeks, he isn't trying."

Nonsense. I know plenty of people who spent longer than that trying to find work. The problem is, when unemployment is high, employers get very picky. That includes the concept of "overqualified". So, if you have a degree and job skills, you won't get that burger flipper job no matter how much you want it.

Try reality for once, could you?
