It is about equality. Equal protection of the law means labor should be able to quit and collect unemployment compensation.Compensation for capitalism's natural rate of unemployment actually solves for that economic phenomena.they will if it is more cost effective and lowers our tax burden.nothing but a fabricated story. you know nothing about economics, story teller.
Blah blah blah More meaningless drivel to dodge the conversation.
No rational person is going to vote to revamp the unemployment compensation system to make it a welfare system.
But it isn't more cost effective. Having 2 programs duplicating their efforts is never cost effective. And there will be determinations of need in both programs.
Fewer people would choose more expensive means tested welfare if they could apply for unemployment compensation instead.
When you apply for unemployment, you have to provide info on your last employer, your salary, and the reason for your unemployment. And the unemployment is for a set period of time.
If you were successful and had unemployment compensation made available for anyone who would claim it, and for an unrestricted period of time, there would be the same means tests added to it.
And as for it being more expensive, do you have any evidence of that? Welfare makes you fill out some forms stating your income, assets ect. YOu may have to review them annually and state any changes. They do not necessarily verify it all. In fact, I would think they verify 10% or so. Unemployment compensation contacts every single employer and checks that you are not lying.
No, it is not cheaper. No, it is not more efficient.
There would be no need for litigation. That could save a lot of money.
