In the US, some people are allowed to be on unemployment for 72 weeks and Obama is trying to extend that to up to another 72 weeks. That is crazy. If someone cannot find a job in 2 and 1/2 years, they have serious mental issues and have likely been taking abusing taxpayers and gaming the system all along. If it was been 6 months for someone, they really need to look at getting two lower paying jobs and working long hours. The was a time when I had 2 jobs and I know many other people that have done it. Another thing some people need to do is give up on the dream of going back to their amazing life style. I live in a house with several roommates because I don't make as much at my current job as I did at an old job. Adjust with the times people.
It's not just the people on unemployment though, the government must be blamed for allowing people to be on unemployment for so long. If unemployment innsurance is such a good thing, it should be private insurance like auto insurance.
