No one can tell me that any person getting unemployment for nearly 15 straight months could not find a job paying $250 a week. McJobs pay more than unemployment does and these moochers are gaming the system. I suggest that they get 2-3 months max and then they are on their own. I know a dude that is 53 years old, is a lifetime stoner/doper and is getting $500 plus a month disability from his life of drugs and booze. Needless to say he is still a stoner/doper/drunk and is working odd jobs to supplement his income, after applying and getting disability. I'll turn him in as soon as I can and see what the state and feds think of his fleecing the taxpayers. Of course he is a Obama guy and hates tax paying Conservative Republicans like myself.

Yes, I am sure you will start seeing these people begin looking for employment.

Maybe this will encourage them to go out and find a job and quit sitting around using my hard earned tax dollars that I pay into the government every year
