littleapple- In that case, would you consider communism a malchus shel chessed? What about Robin Hood?

Why stop at Unemployment Benefits? What about health care? and food? and a home? and education? and transportation? ommon sense needs to kick in somewhere.

Those who are laid off are for the most part not to be blamed at all. Unemployment benefits are a good thing- but not when you can be getting them for over two years straight! There is no longer an incentive to work. For many of the unemployed, the logic is as follows. Why get a $10 an hour job if it means having to go to work, paying for transportation, pay taxes, pay for more child care, if I can just stay home and the govt will pay me anyway?
