The more you pay people not to work the more they will not work. This is not rocket science. In California the maximum unemployment benefits are already 72 weeks. Let’s spend our time reducing the expenses and the bureaucracy involved in hiring a new employee rather than subsidizing more people taking it easy. The more we subsidize things the more we get of it – very simple math.
