re: #76 cliffster

So you don’t think unemployment should expire?

How about actually answering a question at some point, Cliffster?

I’d love to see an experiment where we didn’t have unemployment expire, and see if it actually disinhibited anyone from going out and finding work— and if we could effectively clave off that behavior and address it.

I know, pragmatically, that other people’s economic woes affect me. That’s why people are worried about the ‘economy’ in general. I know that if my neighbor is out of work, I’m paying for it in one way or another anyway.

I know more freeloaders who are employed than I do freeloaders who are unemployed. Not to mention those people who occupy jobs that produce nothing, add nothing of value to the world.
