People have paid taxes on their unemployment benefits for years. Not new. The taxes can be withheld.

Im just glad I won't be using that worthless insurance.
Do you get government VA healthcare as a result of your military service? A government pension?

(and if you do, I think you deserve every penny, and more, for serving our country)

What would you say to giving up, say, half of those benefits? Because we're broke.

I think there certainly are "worthless unemployed not looking for a job but rather for a handout", but they are not much more than the usual small baseline minority present even in a thriving economy.

We could shoot them in the street, if only we could identify them. Maybe you could come up with a way? I mean, other than what the programs do now to try and identify them?

Do you value the service of military troops equal to Fed court security guards (aka Marshalls)?

I dont use the VA healthcare. I would rather let a person who got discharged because of something happening to them in Iraq use the VA healthcare. Yes I do get a pension. We are in agreement that I earned it. The government could take away the VA healthcare and it won't hurt me. It has been over two years since the last time I went to the VA.

And your comment is a textbook example of someone who resents anyone wanting to keep what they earned.
