Ok, I will bite on the "math."  Is it better to have people collecting small amounts of unemployment benefits or handing them a job that pays 5 times as much that is still financed by the government? 


Use this for an example:


Bob gets $500 a month sitting at home watching TV in unemployment.  That money is paid for by you and me.


The government tells Bob they have a job for him and will pay him $2000 a month.  That money is paid for by you and me.


If we are going to be handing out free money, I would prefer handing out less of it. 


The economy was not great when Clinton left office, but that is neither here nor there, it was in a slowdown when he left.  If the Republicans actually practiced free market policies (which they have not) then the problems we are facing would be much less in my view.
