We've discussed this a lot, Steve. And I'm not certain just where we agree and disagree. The latest attempts by the federal government to help employment was the state aid passed this week. That's not for people to sit around but rather to help teachers, firefighters, police, etc., keep their jobs. And by the way continue to spend money which helps others keep their jobs. As for unemployment insurance, I've repeatedly said I have no problem with it. All the studies I've read suggest that almost all unemployed folk are desperate to be employed. I suspect there are few just "sitting around."

<<<You lose my support. You may not like that, but this is still America and when people don't like something they often vote against it. I personally don't think that makes any of these people that vote their conscience evil as some seem to think? >>> The perfect scenario. Cut off your nose to spite your face. Bring back all those policy advisors from AEI, the CATO institute, and the Weekly Standard. Join in the fun. Celebrate with all your Fox and Friends. Happy days are here again. Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So let's sing a song of cheer again Happy days are here again Altogether shout it now There's no one Who can doubt it now So let's tell the world about it now Happy days are here again Your cares and troubles are gone There'll be no more from now on From now on ... Happy days are here again The skies above are clear again So, Let's sing a song of cheer again
