“only encourages people to take their time looking for that new job. “
I know a liberal guy who took a year off, living off his girl friends salary and unemployment. He purposefully blew job interviews. Figured it was his right since he had paid into the system for so long.
Same with a former next door neighbor, union type guy. Took a whole year of unemployment, just doing enough to make it look like he was in a job search.
I will agree to this is if they put this stipulation in place- If we are going to give them unemployment, they need to be picking up garbage in their city, painting over graffiti, trimming tress, mowing lawns etc. The if they are not in a job interview, this is how we need to use the unemployed for the betterment of our society. win win
