I only hope that is the truth, remove all benefits. Maybe that will light a fire under this castrated societies ass to actually do something other than consume and finger bang themselves with complacency unto death.

Back in the day we'd move to another state to find a job.

Tons of jobs in North Dakota. That place is booming.
Texas too.

Maybe you need to move someplace to find work?

"jobless benefits" are 26 weeks--and you should have to show, each week, to get the next check, asigned card indicating where you applied, in person, for work.
Anything more than that is vote-buying welfare, paid for by the schmucks that are working at shit jobs so the fatassed "unemployed royalty" can sit at home and watch porn and make babies, in hopes of getting a raise in their TANF and foodstamp allottments.

You know, in fairness, a lot of people are on welfare because companies have moved their operations to Asian sweatshops.

Unless the investment comes from somewhere to create jobs, there is a need for a welfare system.

Yes, there are people who swing the lead and are quite happy sitting on their arses on benefits, but I maintain that the majority of them will go out and work if the work is there for them.

Perhaps if governments spent less money on blowing up children in dusty villages around the world, they could invest money at home to help businesses stay open and create more jobs for local people.
 Quoting: Smith Jefferys

Jobs went overseas because the cost of doing business in the U.S. rose; that, in turn, happened because the Democrats initiated serious deficit spending and inflation, which drove up the costs of doing business domestically.

At root, the problem of job loss exists because Democrats, starting with FDR, tried to spend their way into prosperity.

Democrats have addicted the country to fiscal crack/heroin.

White House officials have assured Democrats that President Barack Obama is committed to extending benefits for another year. Obama has proposed the $30 billion extension as part of ongoing negotiations over cutting federal deficits.

Let the benefits expire. I'm so sick of Washington extending benefits indefinitely on these unemployed people. It gives them absolutely no incentive to find a job. OK, so he wants them to be able to screw around for another year on the government? I'm as empathetic as the next person when a person loses a job. They need a few months of unemployment benefits to tide them over until they can find a job. But the benefits weren't meant to be a permanent fund for them.

And while thats getting canceled they need to discontinue all the damnable disability benefits.

Just another premiums as is workers compensation,commercial activity tax, We also have to match your medicare and s.s. taxes on your wages.

Re: Over two million people will stop receiving jobless benefits immediately if Congress doesn't make a #fiscalcliff deal!!!
Jobless benefits seem to have become an incentive at both ends of the spectrum.. on one hand Congress realizes an opportunity to pork barrel another extension with sweeping constitutional amendments, tax benefits & handouts to big business.

At the other end of the extensions people figure.. why bother looking for work. When they can stay home & receive up to 75% of their last salary + benefits, free food, free utilities, cellphones, computers, free clothes & in some cases they might even find themselves living in a free million dollar subsidized condominium.

Built from the last round of shovel ready, make work.. pork barreled government infrastructure programs. Poverty has become the fastest growing industry in America.. & business is booming.
