Oh, and just to reiterate: I would feel the same way even if I had lost my job, even if I lose my job tomorrow. I am not a hypocrite. Also, it has not escaped me that you're trying to make me out as evil and uncaring (I'm not), suggesting that because I believe in small government and the free market, I want people to be unemployed and homeless.
Oh, and as for the extension of unemployment benefits... actually I think that given the economic climate, some extension was not a bad thing. Continually extending benefits though encourages people to remain unemployed, rather than working harder to find work.
