You might try using some math befor you delude yourself into thinking a Machinist is going to come out ahead on
$1500/month Unemployment. Do You work for the local democrat Congresscritter with those kinds of statements?

Let's do the math. Unemployment is about 435 per week in Ohio or 1700 a month. If a machinist makes 70,000 per yearbut after cconcessions are to make 52,000 or about 40,000 after taxes. I think Unemployment is taxed too but at a lower rate due to the progressive tax code and no SSI or Medicare is taken out. So the 1700 a month is 21,000 pre tax or about 20,000 after tax.

So you get 40,000 working full time or 20,000 and you get to have a 2 year vacation. What do you choose ?
