And I say again, using your Washington numbers this time, if someone can't find a job that pays $14.00 an hour after almost two years, they're probably not really trying. A McDonald's fry cook in Seattle gets $9.50.
I would be interested to see how many people who have been on unemployment for 99 weeks will suddenly manage to get a job if only their benefits are extended yet another 26 weeks. That extra bit will somehow make all the difference? I may be cynical, but I suspect they would get a job a lot faster if the benefits ran out. Did we learn nothing from welfare reform?
But by all means, let's keep the Federally-subsidized benefits rolling. Three years, five years, whatever. God knows the states love having someone else pick up their bills.
