No question there are. There was one of the 30 or so who were laid off in my place who were happy about it. I have a friend in a union who has a down season every year and collects for weeks in the summer time. No doubt there are plenty who are fraudulently collecting and making no effort. If it bothers you that much, drop a dime. Call your local office and they will open an investigation. People are required to demonstrate effort in getting back to work. Now, it's a completely ridiculous burden of proof, but other than that, I don't know the course of action to suggest to you.

What I do know is my own experience and I see way too much misinformation and ridiculous assumptions from people here and I am shocked by it. I use this site as a resource for all news topics because I trust that I will read honest, informed discussion that is censored out from the regular news media. I will continue to do so, but I can tell you from my experience in this thread, there are a lot of hollering, unaware people are here as well.

Half of everyone you meet in the world is an idiot, the same is true for an internet forum.

“If it bothers you that much, drop a dime.”

It’s not my job to make a socialist system work, is it? In fact, it’s not in the Constitution to make a socialist system work. You are getting sucked into the socialist rat race.

“Now, it’s a completely ridiculous burden of proof, but other than that, I don’t know the course of action to suggest to you.”

I don’t need your suggestion. Government programs are always, always, always corrupt. As a rule. Our founding fathers understood that.

“What I do know is my own experience and I see way too much misinformation and ridiculous assumptions from people here and I am shocked by it.”

How many people on unemployment qualify for the military I wonder?

I realize you paid into FICA. Your boss also paid into Employer Matching. He didn’t get a tax return. On average, we would all have been better off if Social-ist Security never existed. More money to invest. Private insurance for contingencies.
