Juan Williams isn't the first to go here. Of course, you have the idiots who don't realize how close to personal disaster they actually live accepting this new variation on the Cadillac driving Welfare Queen. Being unemployed is bad enough but now FAUX is trying to attach stigma and shame to the situation.
Quote:Juan Williams told Fox News' Megyn Kelly that extended unemployment benefits are harmful to peoples' work ethic and basic values. (H/T TPM)
The two were speaking about the fight over the extension of the benefits on Thursday's "America Live." Kelly told Williams that a man she knows is staying on unemployment because his jobless benefits bring him more money than a potential job.
"To me it's crazy because the longer that person is unemployed the more difficult it is then for them to get a job," Williams said. He continued:
"Because employers, potential employers, will look and see that gee, they've been out forever, it doesn't make sense. And I think that's partly playing in to this cycle. And at some point then it becomes a matter of you lose your work ethic, your values are impacted, you know, getting up, showing up, dressing well, all that good stuff. So I don't know that that's smart."

How many weeks of unemployment should they get before going on welfare? 2 years? 3 years? Indefinately?
