The actual unemployment rate is 19%. People on unemployment insurance should do community service from 7 am until 6 pm every day but Sunday or lose benefits.( provide child care by unemployed) You would see unemployment drop out of the sky!!!

I’m not unemployed, but people have a right to that money (which will run out) - it was involuntarily taken from their paychecks. I think your plan should be for those with no means of support, though even then I don’t see how they’d find work anyway. Check out CareerBuilder or Monster to see what the job market really looks like (in any ZIP code); there are only so many cell phone salesman the market can absorb. Blaming the unemployed only goes so far; this is a global crisis. I even understand the actions of people who lost jobs earning $70K who later turned down jobs earning $25K while they were collecting unemployment; they would have actually lost income (and their homes) even sooner, and thought this downturn was temporary. In those cases, at least they got back the maximum return for their involuntary contributions into the unemployment system!

It’s people’s own fault they are on unemployment. This country has plenty of jobs out there for everyone. /s
