I don't think you have an concept of how some folks don't like to work. They would rather watch TV and eat chips, and maybe forgo the latest cellphone or not go out to eat every other day.

So you cry out, what about the children? Fine. Then let's agree that unemployment should never be extended for persons without dependents.
