There was a piece in the Wall Street Journal back in June/July that showwed 50.6% on the public dole! So we had/have more people taking out than putting in! Then they claimed the feds did some "re-organizing" and the number came back down and "disinterested labor" went up! I remembered thinking that it was a joke! Just because you stop looking for work has no bearing if you recieve assistance! Just the opposite in my mind! What better reason to be getting help financially??
