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.
