Your fooling yourself if you think when unemployment goes back down it will have any effect on welfare. This program is just tossing more money at them. (Johnsonomics, or "just keep throwing money at it, maybe it'll go away")
Cold-blooded? Try dealing with the IRS sometime.

The people wanted blood, the governmnet gave us Madoff. The rest of the crooks walked off with the cash, all under the watchfull eye of "government regulation", so obviously the government can't regulate sh!t.
So I'm supposed to make up for the inept who financed everything in sight and didn't save a dime? Funny how I'm supposed to tighten my belt a notch while the government leeches spend like there's no tomorrow. (which is looking more likely everyday) I already do this, I own a business. The government punishes me for actually employing people, you see I'm one of those "nasty corporations" you always hear about.
The purpose of government is to safegard freedom not anyone's finacial well-being. That's your own resposibility. You are also of course, free to fail. Oh wait, maybe you can get bailed out!
Being a government employee this is of course all beyond you, your just waiting for the 15th and 30th to roll around, right?
