LF Job

[Firecrest]

oh boy here come the conservatives telling you that you're wasting their tax dollars while on unemployment

It's not a waste when it's used as intended. Specifically, as a help for people who are actively looking for a job but can't find one. Most states provide 26 weeks. With some few exceptions (ie: highly skilled, highly paid, highly specialized), this is sufficient. However, the Feds now kick in an additional 119 weeks. This is absurd. If, after half a year, you don't have a job - you either need to lower your standards or actually start looking. Paying people to do nothing for nearly three years is ridiculous.
