hold on 13 more months of unemployment benefits in addition to the already 99 weeks in effect. If I got this wrong no one scream at me that I did not read everything there. This is nuts, where is the incentive to work - sit at home and collect unemployelfare (unemployment and welfare) - $310 a week and just eat bon-bons. that is more than a person gets on social security disability, which is one payment a month that a person paid into for quite a few years. Unemployment does not include health insurance. But a person can apply for medical assistance and food stamps. More people on the government rolls. America is becoming like the former Eastern bloc countries paid to stay at home. Soon China and russia employees will surpass the Americans.
How long do you think this nation can carry the weight of those collecting, ripping off the government and living off the increasing minority of those of us who are employed ?
You're kidding, right? The incentive to work comes from the fact that UE bennies don't even cover expenses. What do you guys think, we're vacationing in the Costa Azul?
