Again you did not read what I wrote ... so one LAST time ...

Actually I agree with this. I don't think that the government should be in the UI business. I think that people should be able to buy their own UI policy from whatever company would offer it. A company could buy it for their employees as a perk. I think that most people who are drawing UI would not object to it being a loan to be paid back at some later date. I am sure that a lot of people that are laid off would have been happy to purchase a layoff insurance policy

If you think the government should NOT be in charge of UI, why do you advocate the government extending it? Like SS, if we are going to get gov't out of that business, ANYTIME you do it will be painful for someone. If you wait for a time when no one is affected, it will never happen.

BTW, on this thread, you've claimed UI is a gov't program and that it isn't. Which is it? (kind of a trick question, granted)
