Whats The Unemployment Rate REALLY?

For Ohio, that higher cap is with more dependents and the salary cap you'd have to be bringing in to get that MAXIMUM amount is obscene for this area. Literally only highly paid professionals will ever have a chance of maxing out unemployment. In Ohio, unemployment is something you pay into with each and every paycheck, so why shouldn't they get what they paid?

You do realize that one on unemployment doesn't automatically get the maximum amount, right? In the end, the unemployment rate they get is a pittance of what they were making.
 
Seems the republican/conservative/libritarian idea to solve the problem is to cut off the life line and let the problem die... And sure.. it'll work.. for a time.. the most poor of society will die off like the bottom rung of a 3rd world nation making room for the rest to continue the self interest profit train. However the middle class of today becomes the poverty of tommorow.. in time as the monopoly style economy of capitolism continues those who have money have no where to go but get more money. but since there is a finite amount of money in the economy, it means the middle class will then become the poor. As the money they now enjoy is taken up by the capitolistic design. The upper class becomes the middle class, the rich become the upper class and the elites... well stay elites...
 
LOL wut?

Cutting off the lifeline decreases the ammount of money governments need to operate which in turn lowers taxes and increases the amount of money individuals take home. Cutting out large portions of government involvement in health-care will lower the cost making it more affordable. Take out all the middle men (namely government) and all of a sudden things will get cheaper.

The presumption that we only have a finite amount of money in the economy kinda tells me that you have no idea how the economy works. Being that they print trillions of dollars on a whim.

Less government means next to no need for a black or gray market as well. Which will increase the availability of certain goods at reduced prices, again allowing more money to stay with the consumer and further allowing them to save money. People traditionally save money in the form of banks and investments, though some choose not to save at all. If they spend money in the market, producers make more money... if they save money in banks, banks have larger amounts of capital with which to grant loans and make investments. Its a win/win if there is less government.

The only thing that is being done now is increasing the rate of government dependency through entitlement programs. Banks and investors are operating largely on the government's ability to transfer and create wealth irregardless of the consumer... which in and of itself makes the notion that we have a purely capitalistic economy laughable. It is how people say... a mixed economy heavy on the government side.

I'm not sure how taking money from one class and giving it to another ever made a thriving society.
 
Of course I realize that. Here in Idaho, they take your highest quarter from the previous year, and give you a percentage of that. The point I was trying to make, is that if that percentage is a higher amount than you'd make at a job you could get, then there is no motivation to get that job.
 
Compared to the amount they're giving in Corporate Welfare every fucking second. I think they should pay every american a thousand dollars a month for being an american, and stop giving to the banks. We could change things. We could revolutionize the world. They seem awful set on keeping us at each other's throats, focused on homophobia and racism, and not trusting our neighbors and finally we are slaves and we don't know it. America's near future in a nutshell, sure it's been close, but with the Gulf and the economy and the banks, LOL! We're making bad dreams come true.

I'm sure doomsayers everywhere will rejoice when it finally happens so they can at least say "See I was right" one last time. heh.
