A bill sponsored by Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) would give unemployment compensation to employees who accept a reduced work schedule to allow their companies to avert layoffs or to hire more employees.

At its logical conclusion, we'd have "full employment", but everyone would be home on the government dole. Only two little problems; no actual goods would be produced by companies with non-working workers, remaining companies with workers who work would be taxed out of existence, producing more non-working "workers". Great way to kill an economy.

I’m sorry to say this clown is one of my senators; the other is even worse...
