Have you ever had to stand in an unemployment line? It's not a party down there. Those people aren't happy to be sucking off of the government's tit. They've been forced to, because there's no other way. You conservatives make it sound like everyone on unemployment and disability are cheating this "socialist" system. Need I remind you of the capitalists at Enron and Worldcom that destroyed more lives than al-Quaeda, all in the name of capitalism?
Yes, yes I have. And yes I hated every minute of it. Now, you dont have to anymore, you can just call every two weeks, makes it real easy. "Press one if you have looked for a job this week..."

And viola, they send you a check. You would be amazed at how many people I heard talking about how it was a joke, and that they havent even looked for a job in six months. The problem is not that people use the safety net. It is there for a reason. The problem is that too many people use it as a hammock.
