I'll ask you also. What do you do for a living and how old are you?

None of your damn business.

My point was that the government is not motivated to do anything about the economy as long as they can simply keep transferring money from the producers, instead actually trying to address the underlying structural problems of the economy.

Your point is valid.... except that... these are not normal circumstances. You and I both know the government is "disincentivized" (there's that word again) to do anything about the economy as long as it can grab power from the current disaster we're in.

But my post was addressing those that claim the unemployed don't have an incentive to find work as long as they are receiving unemployment benefits...which is just not true.

Retired, over 65 and on social security, eh?
