At this point what difference does it make? I have been told repeatedly by some members of this forum that the only reason people are unemployed is because they are lazy leech's who would rather sit home sucking off the government. I however am charitable about those forum members and just consider them ignorant with their broad brush strokes and generalities.

I for one know of many people who are SINCERELY and ACTIVELY looking for work, taking anything they can get ( even part time or contract positions ).
The real problem is -— THERE ARE NOT MANY JOBS AVAILABLE OUT THERE. I can speak for those in our tri-state area — NY-NJ-CT.
For every one job open, I would say there are at least 10 candidates applying for it.
Well, when a lot of people have nothing left to lose it makes a lot of government assumptions invalid. (i.e. their estimates of how much people will tolerate the intolerable become increasingly erratic in their accuracy.)
If people have no jobs, this means that realistically speaking they have no income --granted that debt eases that crush-- and desperate people can do amazing things.
If the thought that the reason they don't have jobs is because of the oppression of the government, it could cause a lot of angry action; after all, our leaders are becoming more and more a let them eat cake
sort.
Thank you. The economy today is not the same as the one my parents grew up in. Hard work does not always equal opportunity anymore, even though it once did. Some don’t understand this.
