I was quoting the very CBO report the article linked to. Here it is again. How in the world, did me quoting a report lead him to believe I was completely against Unemployment Insurance? I'll tell you how - he blindly trusts his news source. I appeared to question HuffPost's article, and that went against everything he has been told to think. He might even believe I get paid to think this way.
Here is the thing - what do we do about unemployment? You want a conversation? Here is an uncomfortable one:
What about the people who are recently unemployed, but expect the same 99 week opportunity as the last round? Do we expect to extend this extension to them? Yeah, because long-term unemployment benefits didn't happen to create another group of individuals who are suddenly being discriminated against, did it? Oh, and that CBO report I keep linking to, does point out that because of benefits, people will become less-intense in their job searches.
OR
The leftists want to chain minimum wage to either: the cost of living, or inflation. Ok... in return - extended unemployment has to be chained to slightly below minimum wage (for the entire duration) - or - you receive somewhere around 75% of whatever your salary (or average pay) was.How is an open floor for discussion too much to ask? I need the recent Supreme Court ruling so hopefully now I can be a better voice than the people on the other side simply saying what they believe I believe in?
