What a load of BS. From where I sit, extending unemployment benefits doesn't spur recovery, if anything it spurs laziness.
I see way too many of our students who, although they can easily get a job with the skills they have learned in our trade school, don't bother looking because they are still sucking from the government teat.
"Why work when you can get a paycheck for free?", seems to be their reasoning. Now that the government is talking about ending the free ride they are coming out of the woodwork demanding placement assistance.
