It does. For the bureaucrats who administer it.
And, in their own enlightened self-interest, they wouldn't want unemployment to go down, because that might mean they'd lose their own job. Such is the "big lie" of bureaucracy - they don't want to solve the problem they're working on. In fact, they get more job security if the problem gets worse.

BINGO!!!! IMO this is and will be the best post of the day. It is so true — you must have worked around bureaucrats like I have. Rarely, if ever, do they show any real compassion for their constituients.
However, their energy and enginuity are amazing when it comes to protecting and expanding their job security and organizational empires. The worst thing that can happen to a bureaucrat is for their program to be scaled back or shut down.
And it’s not just the bureaucracies. All of the outrage/whining NGOs are based on people having a hang nail and wanting someone else to clip it for them.
Community organizers stir up the unwashed every time they need a new ‘injustice’ to underwrite a raise, larger staff, new office etc.
Self-perpetuating and eternal until someone finally tells them no and makes it stick.
Exactly. The libtards' cure for liberalism's messes is always more liberalism.
Actually, many of them (including Obama) are smart enough to see that pattern. But they want their fair
and socially just
liberal utopia so bad, they make a strategy of it. E.g., Obamacare. It's not what they wanted. It's what they could get through the 2008 congress. They wanted Single Payer. And Single Payer will be the cure they will propose after Obamacare destroys the nation's health care system. Incremental disasters are just stepping stones to liberal utopia.
