I really do feel many of you just don't understand the economics and the benefits of this program.
The total cost is not or can not be figured on a zero sum basis, this money benefits many as it spent and re spent in your community, as an example the local grocer, the gas station and any other of the hundreds of places we all spend money.
Some one mentioned letting them loose their home, brilliant idea, then the rest of you make up the property tax revenue and the crack heads have a place to crash, inturn costing the rest of you more cash in the form of added police protection and medical costs.
These are good people that can with some help once again contribute to the betterment of the community or can become a life time burden on all involved.
So what do you you do when unemployment benefits received surpass moneys paid in to the unemployment compensation funds? Raise the percentage paid in by the the ones who are working to cover their extended stay?
