If anything extended unemployment benefits keeps people out of work longer. Lets face it if you didn't have unemployment benefits you would take any job but with the benefits you only want a job as good as the one you lost. The right way to correct a recession/depression is to cut taxes and reduce or eliminate laws making an unfavorable business environment. Businesses didn't move their manufacturing to China because they like Chinese food!! They moved offshore because the business environment in the U.S. is bad and getting worse. We are legislating our business community out of business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-998045751934970734.post-45498847194569240932009-10-27T06:14:44.023-07:002009-10-27T06:14:44.023-07:00Great Post.

In my case this works out pretty good probably due to my liking for flexibility. I miss (and need) the good benefits that go along with a "real" job however. I have pretty much stopped looking for one of those a good while back. The area of the country I live in has not been hit quite as hard as most others. I can only imagine how hard it is in the areas that have been badly affected by the current economy.Bartender Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623813045706584212noreply@blogger.com
