In your frequent inferrences that my POV amounts to a reduction/abolishment of unemployment benefits.  Unless of course, you're trying to be specific to someone else, but keep getting me lumped in somehow. 

I don't believe i lumped you into my reply to Plane.

My tangent with you specifically states that not extending the benefits is a bad idea and i gave my reasons why.

In that vein, I've given you my reasons for maintaining the status quo, and extending both makes worse our already frankenstein-like national debt AND enables a perpetuation of those who seek to remain living off our tax dime

I guess will have to agree to disagree on this

Do you personally know anyone collecting unemployment?

Taxpayers still outnumber people on relief.

A reduction of dole , if only a reduction, would harm the minority less than it would help the economy.

More money in circulation is supposed to be stimulating to the economy, circulating that money should happen better and faster with less middleman.

Get the government out of the picture gradually and it should be possible to replace the dole with jobs.

At the point that people on unemployment benefits outnumber taxpayers, no plan is going to work.

There ought to be a real effort to open the job market and another effort to encorage job seeking.

My renters are all employed at present , thank God. If one of them becomes unemployed I will do everything I can to provide coushion, short of allowing the bank to reposesses.

If I were paying less tax would I be able to wait longer for the rent?

Do you equate unemployment compensation with welfare?
