"If you get paid not to work you have zero incentive to look for a job." Oh, BS. Can't get a job if there aren't any. For every job opening, there are 7 or more people unemployed. Cutting off unemployment won't change that. You'd have to be a moron to believe otherwise... A couple weeks ago, my son ran into a friend from high school at the store. My son asks, "What are you doing these days?" Answer: "Drawing unemployment. Hell, I'd be crazy to get a job; they're paying me more than I can make". True story. And absolutely shoots down your claim. I'm sure you've heard of BF Skinner. It would be great if you could ask HIM whether paying people not to work is a good idea. What do YOU think he would say?
