Long-Term Unemployment: No Help For The 99ers

You know, they're right.

Unemployment insurance has made me lazy.

I 'm too lazy to make dentist appointments, buy my kids shoes, go to the doctor (I'm too lazy to buy my own medical insurance to the tune of $1,600 per month), too lazy to contribute to my no-longer-existant retirement account (I was motivated, however briefly, to cash out my 401k and pay 30% penalties in order to buy food, utilities), continue my son's music lessons, even though he's gifted, pay my mortgage - I could just go on forever.

Thank you, Senators, for this attitude correction.

Now I can continue to look for work that I know is not out there, and be grateful to you for setting me back on the right path. I can also keep on contributing to the broken, unjust economic and political system that caused me to be unemployed in the first place, but that's a minor detail.

God, our government is good!
