    I’ve never met a single person in my life who made more money on unemployment than their job gave them. Not sure how this is possible, given that the system is designed to only pay out a small percentage of the person’s previous salary. Granted, I don’t know everything, but…

    The money wasn’t there to pay them all along. Those payments were made with debt that your grandchildren will be taxed to pay back.
