Anyone but Obama

Michigan law was an example. Each state differs.

Do you have any opinions/ideas on how to restructure Unemployment so that those who are abusing the system can be stopped from receiving benefits?

 

I disagree with your ideals.

Everyone receiving unemployment should be required to prove what they are doing on a daily basis t o find another job. Skill update classes & training should be mandatory. Employers who hire through the unemployment office should receive some benefit. Benefit periods should be reduced. Want more?

 

What part of personal responsibility & self-reliance do you disagree with?

 

Drug testing mandatory, 6 months max instead of the 18 months now (or whatever they have upped it to), $10K - $20k max, to name a few.

 

There's that twist again... and one of the reasons you become embroiled in pointless arguments. Hell, the topic you twisted was pointless, but that hasn't stopped you from pursuing it lol

 

You asked;

We both gave our answers and you come back with (and personal responsibility is part and parcel to our answers);

That is as bad as nailing jello to the wall. If you want to discuss the topic, do so. If you want to change the topic every time we give an answer, go play by yourself

 

So, is personal responsibility & self-reliance that abhorent to you?

 

Famous picture of Bush jr holding Saudi's hand as he walked behind him and lesser picture of obama bowing to Saudi. Lets face it the Saudi's owned our last two presidents from two different political parties.

 

Look closer, you're leaving something out.

 

That is a dumb question. That would be like me asking if you think kindness and compassion were abhorant to you.

I said we had different ideals, not that I abhor personal responsibility and self-reliance. But that's how you see things, and why I say you 'twist' someone's comments. You obviously don't know how to understand differing opinions so you twist it to fit what you think it is. That is a lack of empathy... in this case meaning the ability to see the other side's point of view.

 

You can try to make me, but you better man-up (since you are being child-like) beforehand if you want even the slightest chance of succeeding

 

Let me see. In posts #205 and #206 you asked the question. In posts #207, #208, and #209 we gave you answers. Now you say I am leaving something out. There is not such thing as #206.??. I think what is missing is your discussion. Would you care to fill that blank in?

 

Nope. But thanks for giving your opinion on what could be done to keep abusers off Unemployment. What does the "10k to 20k max" mean? ...Income or total benefits?

 

Your words;

 

I have no idea why you reposted more BS... so I'll ask again: What do you mean by "10k to 20k max"? I'm guessing total benefit.

 

Sure. How about rlm's idea of 6 months max? I could agree on that myself.

I proposed a limit of about $16,500 ( wages + benefits) for a single person, meaning if the person went on Unemployment after earning $12,000 they could receive a maximum amount of $4,500 benefit for the year, no more. Anyone earning more than $16,500 would be ineligible for benefits. Where would you set the limits of benefits for a single person, living alone?

 

But that's what you quoted when you claimed we differed.

 

Again, you are misunderstanding what I said. I said we had different ideals, you took that the WRONG WAY. I never quoted you saying "I believe in personal responsibility and self-reliance" and replied "I don't believe in personal responsibility and self-reliance". That was your doing, your assumption, and IT WAS WRONG.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ARGUING THAT STUPID 'POINT' THEN I COULD JUST AS EASILY SAY YOU ARE UNCARING AND LACK ANY SENSE OF COMPASSION, SINCE YOU HAVEN'T DENIED THAT. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO CONTINUE THIS B.S.? IF NOT, I ASKED A SPECIFIC QUESTION THAT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ANSWER. I'M ASKING YOU TO RESPOND TO THAT QUESTION.

 

See post #211...your post. You quoted one of my statements (the one regarding personal responsibility & self-reliance) then proceeded to say we have differing ideals. How else should one take that?
