When unemployment fluctuates the bar for earning money is fluctuating. If you're the kind of person who is near that bar you need to take a good hard look at yourself.

"Give people the freedom to make their own economic decisions"

Why should they be free to make their own decision about how they spend MY money?

This is unpopular here, but I really believe that if you can't provide for yourself financially there is something seriously wrong with you, and I don't think treating you like a child is unreasonable. Beyond washing and feeding yourself, getting an income is pretty much adulthood 101.

Waaaa! People aren't giving me enough free stuff! Waaaa!

If you don't like them don't use them! It's their ball, they can take it home if they want to.
