The GOP’s Approach to Unemployment Benefits Is Wrong, Says ... Charles Krauthammer?

“That s why I ░░░░░░░░ the Republican approach is ░░░░░░░░ wrong approach I agree ░░░░░░░░ Steve It shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ about whether it increases ░░░░░░░░ deficit or not It ░░░░░░░░ a fairly small amount ░░░░░░░░ money and that s ░░░░░░░░ the core issue The ░░░░░░░░ issue is creating an ░░░░░░░░ This has never been ░░░░░░░░ an entitlement And you ░░░░░░░░ down this road Sperling ░░░░░░░░ now is not the ░░░░░░░░ Four and a half ░░░░░░░░ into a recovery at ░░░░░░░░ as defined by the ░░░░░░░░ itself is not the ░░░░░░░░ If not now then ░░░░░░░░ What we re going ░░░░░░░░ end up with is ░░░░░░░░ European level of unemployment ░░░░░░░░ unemployment subsidized And the ░░░░░░░░ is that if you ░░░░░░░░ apples you get more ░░░░░░░░ If you subsidize unemployment ░░░░░░░░ get more of it ░░░░░░░░ that s what the ░░░░░░░░ studies show It s ░░░░░░░░ that people are lazy ░░░░░░░░ shows that if you ░░░░░░░░ unemployment insurance then you ░░░░░░░░ make choices which would ░░░░░░░░ you to turn down ░░░░░░░░ job that perhaps isn ░░░░░░░░ exactly what you want ░░░░░░░░ vast majority of the ░░░░░░░░ want a job and ░░░░░░░░ problem is the state ░░░░░░░░ the economy So I ░░░░░░░░ what they ought to ░░░░░░░░ is to recognize that ░░░░░░░░ s becoming an entitlement ░░░░░░░░ they would oppose that ░░░░░░░░ the other hand it ░░░░░░░░ still tough times Unemployment ░░░░░░░░ relatively high and if ░░░░░░░░ were to count the ░░░░░░░░ who have quit looking ░░░░░░░░ would be 11 percent ░░░░░░░░ I think what they ░░░░░░░░ to do is to ░░░░░░░░ we ll accept the ░░░░░░░░ term the three months ░░░░░░░░ only if you build ░░░░░░░░ the bill an unwinding ░░░░░░░░ this so it has ░░░░░░░░ end date so we ░░░░░░░░ understand it isn t ░░░░░░░░ entitlement It s a ░░░░░░░░ to help people temporarily ░░░░░░░░ that would be a ░░░░░░░░ solution.”
