For years now, the unemployed haven't had to do shit until they are threatened with the end of their unemployment checks - and then guess what?... A good amount of them suck it up and get a fucking job!
I am not for endless unemployment benefits. The system definitely has to be fixed.

I agree. If you want to draw unemployment you should have to go back to being forced to provide them with proof that you are looking for a job. It is too easy to milk it right now, but I still think there are a lot of people out there who are out of work, looking and just can't find anything right now.
Reform would help, but it would also create a lot more bureaucracy. I guess we have to decide which is cheaper: just giving out unemployment or hiring and paying all the people it would take to keep track of all the people on unemployment.
