GOP: “Unemployment Benefits Encourage People Not To Work” …LIES
Posted on Jan 19, 2012 | 1 comment
A recent study has found that those eligible for federal unemployment benefits are MORE likely to search for a job than those who are ineligible for unemployment benefits.
I suppose all those 11.5% of veterans who are unemployed are lazy too. You know? The guys the cons are always riding on the backs of, saying they support so much. The ones with the 60-80% dropout rate when they attempt to use their post 9/11 G.I. bill. Must just be because they’re lazy. Yes. That is not an oversimplification at all.

It’s not so much laziness in many cases I don’t think as a sense of futility. About a year ago I came off unemployment after close to a year of receiving benefits…but I had to move to a new town to do it. In my old (small) town, I had a choice of working at Subway or the convenience store, or sitting at home doing nothing and collecting twice as much. There were just no decent-paying jobs. I would have been willing to make 10% less in order to work, but 50% less was just too much. So yes, in my case, the size of the benefit I was getting was indeed getting in the way of me getting back to work, at least immediately. I eventually just pitched the whole thing and moved my family, and am now making a lot more…but there was a lot of heartache and extra effort involved to do it, too.
