    • If people are legitimately looking for work for long periods and unable to find it, I have no problem with benefits lasting as long as they need. That has to be accompanied by strict controls however to make sure people are genuinely continuing to seek work, and to help work through whatever problems are keeping them from finding it.

      • Agreed, but strict controls can be difficult and very expensive to manage/enforce.

          Oddly enough that usually happens near the end of the benefits period.

          • Unemployment benefits are very strong disincentive to working. Every human being on earth has a tendency to procrastinate until the moment of need. I know I have a tendency to wait until deadlines. People may not be intending to exploit the system and end up doing it anyway. I'm not saying unemployment benefits should go--just that extending them may actually be extending harm.

                  If $1,000 a month is a "strong disincentive", how do you feel about billions of tax cuts for the rich? I mean, if they paid taxes, they'd have to innovate to get richer!

                  • We could use cattle prods to make sure people don't slack off. As a side benefit, think of all the jobs this would create, as each person on unemployment would need to have someone follow them around with a cattle prod. Soon there would be no unemployed people at all!

                      You suck at math.

                      EDIT: Alright, I'll elaborate. You pay more taxes when you make more money. Raising taxes is therefore a disincentive to work, not an incentive.
