Maybe the laws are different in your area but here well over 3/4ths of my present class are drawing unemployment benefits.

Actually unemployment is cheaper to pay than all the social programs people out of work go to.

In addition to regular benefits the government is paying for their tuition as well. In out little school alone i'd bet at least 200 students get this deal.

Course as an employer I'm amazed at how easily they give these benefits. I've fired people for failing drug test, not showing up to work for weeks, ect...and even if I fight their claim, they always win benefits...Then you see them working on the side while drawing.
I had one guy drive a van through a garage door, hit a benz, did about 20K in total damage, failed a drug test, fired and still got benefits.

Here's where we can agree. Employers tell me it takes a literal mountain of paperwork to deny someone benefits. It's so difficult they often just bite the bullet and pay benefits to people who they should have been able to fire outright.
