"they disregard the families who lost their jobs and have children - feeling like they just need to work harder so they will not starve.
You have three years unemployment pay available... (and once again, in the US nobody is starving [because of lack of food]) "
Are you serious? Look around, you would be in shock at the state of our country as of late. I believe if you can work you should. But there has to be jobs to work. Here is another problem I have. If you sit on your butt, you can get welfare, If your illegal, you can get welfare. If your in school trying to better yourself and make yourself more employable, you can not get welfare. WTF are you kidding me! I think the whole system need overhauling. I don't have the answers, but it seems neither does the government.
