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

"It’s not that people are lazy. It shows that if you have unemployment insurance, then you can make choices, which would allow you to turn down a job that perhaps isn't exactly what you want. The vast majority of the unemployed want a job, and the problem is the state of the economy. So I think what they ought to do is to recognize that it's becoming an entitlement and they would oppose that. On the other hand, it's still tough times. Unemployment is relatively high, and if we were to count the people who have quit looking, it would be 11 percent. So I think what they ought to do is to say, we'll accept the short term, the three months, but only if you build into the bill an unwinding of this so it has an end date, so we all understand it isn't an entitlement. It’s a way to help people temporarily. And that would be a good solution.”
