I have an answer for that; reduce welfare by 50%. People will work when the alternative is not eating.

It's Socialists like you who want to continue to suck bucks from the Producers to give to the Moochers.

Just the other day one of my neighbors, who is collecting unemployment benefits, told everybody at our culdesac party that he's found a few jobs but he "couldn't afford to take them". Cut off his government checks and he wouldn't be able to afford not to take one.

The day they "Balance" trade, deport the very last illegal, "off the books", border jumping, criminals with their spawn, go back and collect all taxes from these freeloading, Un-American Scumbags that gave them jobs, and fire all government types that jobs were created to deal with these border jumpers, then and only then, all unemployment should be cut back to the 26 weeks.

Until then, those collecting benefits are just on the gravy train like a whole lot of others....

I won't work along side criminal border jumpers nor for chicken sh*t wages that criminal employers want to pay. I also try to buy American thus buy very little these days.

Unemployment payments is the price we pay because people are to stupid to vote out the scummy politicians that are bought and paid for by criminal business types and politicians that are just vote buying whores...

When your construction companies has no employees because they have been deported, they will have to hire real working men in the "real" labor market, pay them competitive wages and treat them like men. (or get there fat lazy worthless criminal freeloading a**es off the golf coarse and do the work themselves.)

Freeloading has become ingrained in our culture and the worst offenders are always the one that seem to be complaining of others...

Blackheart,

Can you enter into an adult conversation that doesn't involve you calling everybody names?

I have yet to see it but think that you can do it if you try

I only called that pompous idiot from Cali names and he's earned the title.

Name calling is a very good indication that the name caller is of low intelligence and lower socio-economic status.

Blackie, my boy, you are living proof of the above.

I really don't think people want to work.

Actually, I have a very high IQ. Probably why I have a low tolerance for pompous idiots like you !

an educated, well though out response trumps loud and obnoxious everytime.

There are those who want to live on the government tit as long as they can but there are also those who really want to get a job and cannot find one.

Has she pursued the deadbeat dad? Lotsa laws on her side. She owes it to her children to do everything possible to collect their money.

Also has she looked for employment outside your immediate area?

Scott,

This is the main reason why I hate to see people take advantage of the system! The purpose of entitlement programs was to assist people in getting back on their feet and to help them get back on track. There are far too many people manipulating the system these days and it is a huge drain on our economy. My neighbor is one of them! It makes me want to puke!

Best of luck to your daughter and I will keep her and her family in my prayers

BINGO


My observation is that this is true for at least a decent % of the pop.

Just called a guy up and offered him a job a few weeks ago, his reply was I don't want to mess up my unemployment.

I think you're painting with a very broad brush. While there may be some that are trying to take advantage of the system, every architect, interior designer and construction manager that's lost a job that I know have been working their a$$ off trying to find something, anything to get back working again.

Unfortunately I know a lot of people that have been laid off myself included. In the past 3 years to date, I know of only 2 who were able to find a job in the same field. I know 2 who have attempted to start their own firms out of their homes doing residential remodels and are barely scraping by. One of my former designers is now a dispatcher for Scottsdale PD, she got the job over 1,600 applicants. That's right 1,600 applicants for a single position. I know an architect with 20 years experience stocking shelves at night for target. Three of my former designers are doing miscellaneous hourly work; receptionist, office coordinator and hostess. I'm in scool working on a nursing degree in the hopes of changing career fields.

Like I said the problem is the system itself. Take a class to better yourself or retrain yourself and lose benefits. Take on a seasonal or part-time job and lose benefits. There's nothing in place to help those that want to find work outside of their traditional career paths.

For all those saying cut them off they'll find jobs, you're not being realistic. At 40 with a bachelor's and a master's degree I could not find anything. I tried everything; architecture, construction, retail, call center, local police departments. First question do you have any experience in this field. Being willing to learn and take on anything wasn't enough when there's a stack of resumes from people with experience in the same field. So I learned look for a field where there's demand and re-train myself to enter it.

So for those saying this what's you proposal for how to deal with it? Cutting them off will accomplish little and probably make the problem worse. Saying they're fat and lazy with benefits is a crock as well. I know it varies by state, but in Arizona benefits are $240/week, less than a full-time minimum wage job. That's not enough for me to be fat and lazy on. If anything it's motivation to be looking for something that brings in more money.
