Can you imagine? The Democrats never dreamed that by paying people to be unemployed, more people would be unemployed. It is no shock, then, to any rational mind (Democrats apparently excluded) that unemployment increased when unemployments benefits were extended from 26 to 95 weeks.
95 weeks! That is over three years of benefits for ... pretending to look for a job.
I have heard the Liberal reaction. They are incredulous that anyone would voluntarily be unemployed just because they receive benefits.
That sort of thinking proves how little Liberals/Democrats understand economics. Or people. Folks may find it hard to live on the unemployment benefits, so many supplement with "under the table" cash paid for unreported work.
Liberals may not be insane (see yesterday's post), but they certainly are not rational.
