Sorry, left a sentence out. *There has to be a limit above which

And there you have an good example of the thinking
that's got us where we are today. The libs think every
possible issue they can identify as needing to be fixed
requires another law, another regulation, another
federal program, another handout. And who do they
turn to for these programs and how to run them?
Why Congress of course, with an approval rating
of 15%. I want Congress to do less, not more.

We got were we are because of a spendthrift congress, that showered
benefits left and right so the critters could get re-elected left and
right alike. If you think that by abrogating unemployment benefits we
will get back on track, I suggest you hire a firing squad (figuratively
speaking, mostly).
