I’m not a libertarian so I am not against helping people laid off avoid having to go homeless when between jobs. 26 weeks is usually fine for decent economic times. You need to remember, you actually need to WORK to get these benefits and it scales to pay and caps very low.
I assume you’re financially very secure and I highly doubt your kids will be going hungry because of a $33b charge out of a $1300b yearly budget. This stuff is such small potatoes compared to obamacare or even the Bush medicare prescription deal it isn’t funny.

Fantastic! Then do it. However, where is it written that you have a right to take MY money? Where is forced charity ever correct? That’s redistribution of wealth.

You know nothing about me. You have no clue what we have given up to make it. How we are out stoop picking and canning, how we live without cable, without a land line and with a tracphone for emergencies. Ten year old cars that need to be fixed and using a bike when we run short each week. Even if we made a million a year, where is your right to take it from me?
So again, how do we finance this?
