“Republicans said they would probably agree to extend jobless aid for the long-term unemployed.”
Now there will be no incentive for the unemployed to take a low-paying job, or a part-time job. I don’t blame them, I blame to govt. for killing any incentive to find a job.
My husband has a master’s degree, but he took a job at Wal-Mart for two years which didn’t pay much more than minimum wage. Why would anyone do that if they can receive unemployment and not have to pay for transportation, and other costs, while collecting the same amount staying home?

If the govt can create the conditions for producing high-paying jobs, people will take the high paying jobs over the welfare.
We've all become accustomed to things being very much different than they are now. I don't know if we will ever see "normal" again.
The Tea Party uprising should have started many years ago, before all the damage was done.
