What would then be preferred to happen to those less fortunate members of society. Let them live in tents in the closest National Forest and eat any roots and wild plants that they can find. Would that be the Christian thing to do????

In the case of state-sponsored extensions, those extra payments are usually paid for out of state income tax payroll deductions. Florida doesn't have income tax.

But if all the money paying for unemployed people is that big a deal, maybe more people should've made a louder noise when DOGE started firing tens of thousands of government workers whose families relied on their income - and now have none.

Warren Buffet believes that passing inheritance money down to his kids is WRONG. He is one of the smartest men in the US. Think of it as HIS opinion, NOT mine and it will make a lot more sense.

All the money we are subsidizing for those who are unemployed. Ever hear of welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies and those who have no hope or dreams of having their own homes in a safe neighborhood?

You do realize unemployment compensation is only payed out if one has been employed in the first place and is relatively a short period of payout. Who picks up the cost of living tab when jobs aren't available other than padded, unnecessary government positions where they could work as the assistant to the assistant, of the assistant to the assistant, etc.
