You all are driving me nuts!
Unemployment compensation is not welfare.
When you lose your job of 25+ years, you DO NOT have to take a job for less money than what you were paid at your previous job. The chances of one finding another job at your last rate is slim to none, especially for someone over 50, as indicated many times over by others.
So, my point, ease off on the folks over 50, they deserve a rest. They’ve worked hard, and if they are milking the system, so what, they paid into it.
Then why is it costing taxpayer's $100 billion?
