This is bad, but what I really liked about the proposal was that anyone over 50 (I think it was 50, might have been 55) that gets hired in at a lower wage than what they were let go at the state would use the unemployment insurance to make up the difference in their wages.

As a business owner does that mean I can hire an old guy who is laid off with a PhD, pay him minimum wage, and let the state pick up the rest of his/her salary?? Hell I could hire 5 guys for the same price as one younger one!! /s

No way. The government covering the difference between a hard high paying job and a meaningless low wage job is the most retarded ever. The left will then apply it to everyone and there will be a mad rush for the fast food jobs.
