Health Food: Now that we will have Universal health care and food stamps, we don't need unemployment insurance

Now that we will have Universal health care and food stamps, we don't need unemployment insurance?
Now that would make sense. If the politicians are going to make health care a right. Why do we need a job? Much less job insurance?

Perhaps some people need a job to earn money to buy food and clothing and pay rent or a mortgage. Maybe we need unemployment insurance so people can stay alive while they are looking for another job if they lose theirs?

Cool... we can all meet down at the welfare office and get our checks... and demonstrate to have our welfare checks direct deposited into our banking accounts so we can meet at Starbucks!

How about we give that insurance to Israel as well. We pay for their universal health care so why not?

A job should provide for more than just health care.

What every democrat needs is a private sector job. Lets send the congress packing, so they can get one.

When everyone climbs into the wagon that nobody wants to push anymore the game will be over. Socialism works until the rich run out of money.

this new bill is not universal nor free or anything else. it's just a big ol' government boon-doggle. problem is, once it's entrenched as is welfare and other stuff, we will never be able to get rid of it. it's all nothing but a make work program for washington dc beurocrats and that's about it.

What is wrong with people that they are upset that Americans and non Americans will be getting AFFORDABLE FREE health care? If you do away with AFFORDABLE unemployment insurance, then many "undocumented' employees will lose there jobs, so you might have to run that by Nancy. The thing is the employers will employ the UD employee and say the legal worker is making $10 an hour, the employer makes a deal with the illegal person and tells them that since they are not having to pay income tax, he/she will pay them $8 an hour. When I worked in San antonio, Dallas and Springfield this is what is going on. now the incentive for the employer is that they save some there, but save a ton by not having to pay or equal the FICA, social security, unemployment, health insurance, the 4% Medicare and stuff like that , so in the long run they save an additional 30-35% by employing an undocumented person. If you drop the unemployment insurance, then they might wiggle out of the health insurance, which is easy and then go ahead and employ legal people. Guess it doesn't matter as there are so many that are in the business of supplying fake documents. Most can just head to the county clerks office and find a ton of dormant social security numbers and facde it if so many are not paying or behind on taxes the IRS probably won't catch them. But i figure if ICE targeted the employer, then the country could collect $100 billion just n that side. I believe they say they send over a trillion out of the country and if everyone paid what they were suppose to pay then we might be looking at $200 billion collected. now so Speaker Pelosi goes along, then tell her that we will only collect from the employer. granted the first thing the employer will say is that they have to lay off some people, so tell speaker Pelosi to pass a bill that states only legal Americans can be layed off, not illegals. they can also get the unemployment checks...................................... But if we put it that way then she should be happy and we collect some cash for the country and the administration to lose. Problem with food stamps is they only give you 50% of the face value when you get beer and smokes and tops or zigzag rolling papers. Happy Holidays
