I have not seen where anybody is against all unemployment benefits. What I have seen is that conservatives are against constantly extending them. 26 weeks,(half of a year) is more than enough time to find a job. Maybe not a dream job, but a job.

The question is whether Government spending stimulates the economy or not. This Canadian example clearly shows that it does not.

With all due respect and deference....you (or should I say "conservatives" - tho you paint with a mighty broad brush) don't know what you're talking about.

I assume you're employed?? If so, try being with useful employment for over a year with little or no prospects at finding work....

"Not a dream job, but a job"....indeed!

Whatever makes you think that old folk can walk in all spiffed up for that "a job" when they are number one of 15...or are the 15th in line, hmmmmm?

Tell ya what....try it sometime...."walk a mile in the unemployed's shoes"....then spout.
