That is why they used to limit unemployment benefits to six months. You had six months to find a good job. If you didn’t, you took what you could get and worked up form there. I think we should go back to that.

Disclaimer: Both my wife and I have been drawing unemployment and COBRA subsidies for 15 months. To the tune of almost 60k annualized. I start a new job on the 26th, a much better job then I had before.

I think you do not understand what a 17% unemployment rate means.

The issue isn't getting a "good job", it's getting "any job".
