"but I do know that you don't need to make any effort to find a job. "

Then you don't know much.

"Why work (or start a business) when the checks pay almost as much?"

See, this is what I mean. Unemployment doesn't pay almost as much. No where near, in fact. There are no benefits, outside of food stamps. And that is cold comfort when your house goes into foreclosure.

You have constructed this fantasy about what it is like. Tell you what, do what I challenged i-node to do. Try applying to low wage jobs. See exactly how far you get when they see your resume.

"Sending out resumes, looking through Monster.com, etc. is enough."

This is a fable. What you describe is NOT enough. They will check with companies you've interviewed with. They will check that companies have received your resume'.
