Unemployment & Welfare are two systems that need Overhauled & Fixed.
I know several people who brag about being on both at the same time, and are making WAY more total than they did when they had jobs. One couple I know, the Female got fired for sleeping around with everyone, and the Male was a school bus driver who his job was seasonal. He is a 23 year old male in good health condition, able to perform any job. She has Children, so that is where the welfare comes in, and pays them several hundred a month in food stamps. All they are required to do is call in and say, Yes I looked for a job, when I know they didn't. They brag how this entire next year will be one fun vacation for them, thanks to the system. Oh lets not forget they only work enough to qualify for the Max Child Earned Income Credit, total with State and Fed, they got back 10K, and NONE of that was what they paid in!
Is everyone like that NO, are there lots of people like that, YES. They system(s) are BROKE, and yes if you put people in charge to Review these cases, they only need to catch a couple a month to pay for their own Salary, so the argument of, it costs to much to police these systems is BS.
If I was to every be on unemployment, I would do what it is intended for, to cover my wages while I LOOKED FULLTIME for a Job.
My Rant!
