Either you don't know a damned thing about unemployment, or things must run
very differently out there than they do here in NY.

After 6 months (or less?), they should
be required take any job they might qualify for (a couple days
training or less?) to get off the unemployment roles. Unlimited
unemployment checks breed worse things. Get 'em off their asses!
Yeah - sounds good to spout that kind of **** when you are talking about
other people. You are being an ass Larry.

What is your proposal? Do you have some other means to induce those
folk to find productive work? If so, how would you do it? If not, do
you propose to force Larry and me through our taxes to support those
people indefinitely while they sit home and watch TV all day?
