ENOUGH! JOBLESS BENEFITS GO ON FOREVER

THE DOCTOR IS IN

LAS VEGAS- Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

13 weeks, 26 weeks, now it's up to 99 weeks. When is the extensions on the unemployment insurance going to stop? I can see 13 weeks or even 26 weeks of unemployment benefits which has been the standard and norm for the past few decades, but 99 weeks? Come On!

What the government is doing is putting people on perpetual welfare. The government is basically paying people a salary for years so why should these unemployed people go back to work or even look for a job? The hand out to these people week after week, year after year, give them no incentive to work. Why should they go back to work? They see themselves as getting a free paycheck and receiving enough money to squeeze by on from week to week.

Since 1948 the government extended a persons unemployment benefits from 13 weeks to 26 weeks.That's reasonable and shows compassion. However, I believe after 26 or 27 weeks a person should have had ample time to find some sort of job,even in these hard times. If a person really wants to work there is some job out there they can do even if it is not similar to the job they had prior to being unemployed.

The administration and Congress has to get out of this mind set of continuing the jobless benefits. They have to come to terms and bite the bullet and say 26 weeks of unemployment benefits are enough for everyone.- And, that's my opinion.
