UE bennies enable the lazy to continue to be lazy.
Contrary to popular belief, there is plenty of work to be had out there, but why work for 7 or 8 bucks an hour to earn your money when you can stay home and get a buck or 2 a week for free?
Exactly.
Fast foods, and just about every major retailer are always hiring. Not that this is a viable option for an executive or anything, but for the average shmoe, it's a job, and has the potential to earn more per week than being on UE, but why bother going to work when you can mooch the free money every week within a buck or so of what you would make if you had to actually earn it?
The gov needs to tighten up on who gets the UE bennies.
Stop enabling the lazy and unmotivated slackers to continue being lazy and unmotivated slackers. Make the bennies available to those who TRULY need and appreciate it while THEY ARE REALLY OUT LOOKING FOR A JOB.
approximately 2 million Americans will lose their unemployment insurance benefits during this upcoming holiday season unless Congress authorizes another emergency extension of benefits by the end of November. At this point, however, that is looking less and less likely.
Expect Republicans to stall the legislation - and en masse vote against it - again.

Just a question, how long do you think people should be entitled to receive UE compensation? Do you have a timeline, or is it just indefinite? At what point should people move off UE and onto welfare?
And, how do you expect the country to pay for endless UE when our leadership is doing nothing to create and grow jobs and the economy? Should we continue to print and borrow money to fund UE? Is that a logical solution in your opinion?
Being since there is armed security in places like the bus depots in Dallas and Houston, and likely other places like that across the country, I'll view this thread as your "A" typical non-starter ..

"Plenty-O-Jobs"? LMAO
What a clueless perspective.........as well as a lazy view! Great. Blame the jobless for ALL OUR PROBLEMS.
GOOD! Let's hope they do. Two years is long enough. Too long, actually.
And I expect many will continue to think it's "good" when the hungry and hopeless millions who cannot find jobs begin to be really HOPELESS.
