Payments to the unemployed should come from a ‘welfare’ line item after x number of weeks, because the “Employment Income” budget line is related to costs to employers. In Maryland some employers have seen their Employment Insurance premiums go up 300-500% during the past year. This is really conducive to their hiring the next new employee, NOT!

It is so wrong for people to get comfortable on ‘government checks’ plus handouts from the many agencies around to help the destitute. When I begin seeing starving Americans I will begin to worry that we are not “doing enough”.

If you think most people are "comforatable" on their UB checks, you have your head up your nether regions.

I will gladly trade my UB check for anyone's j.....if it is so great, should be easy for you to arrange.

Funny how I never get any takers on that offer.
