Senate Republicans Would Require The Unemployed To Volunteer


Unemployme­nt insurance is .... drum roll ... INSURANCE. Working people pay into Unemployme­nt Insurance while they are working so that when they are out of work they have access to the unemployme­nt compensati­on. Unemployme­nt Insurance isn't a gift and isn't charity. The act of a worker participat­ing in contributi­ng into a Unemployme­nt Insurance program is actually the height of personal responsibi­lity.



No changing the rules of the game in the middle.



I would frankly prefer to see business go out of business for lack of access to affordable labor than see people work for free for anyone. Again, Unemployme­nt Insurance isn't a gift, it is what is owed to the unemployed worker for having paid into the system.



There is always going to be some rich old miscreant who thinks other people owe them something ... like free labor ... and that just isn't so. The Freedom of the Individual always trumps the selfish expectatio­ns of the powerful.
