I would semi agree here if there weren't so many that haven't worked any and have gamed the system for years.
I was laid off in 2009 during the mortgage fiasco and was able to draw unemployment, my cousin called me because she knew I was conservative and said "I don't see you turning down government assistance now" my response was call me back when you have put 20 years worth of part of your wages into a system. She is one that is a taker but not a giver, she quickly hung up and it is going on 11 years she has never brought the subject up again. FWIW I took 3 months of unemployment and was called back, I still think I'm ahead of the game as far as money put in vs money taken out.
