Stop subsidizing unemployment with welfare checks, which in many cases pay the recipient more money than they were making working.
You cannot create money out of thin air at the rate we a printing it unless you want hyperinflation (you don’t).
It’s not only damaging to the economy—business owners cannot operate and consumers cannot get what they need. It’s harming the work ethic of the unemployed and their sense of self-worth.
I do not buy the “raise the minimum wage” argument. Enough people have shown they would rather not work and get paid less than work and get paid more.
The continuation of unemployment subsidies is forcing companies to compete against the federal/state government for workers in a losing battle—it’s hard to ignore the possibility this is intentional on the part of those in power who want to force the minimum wage increase. Which, by the way, results in higher unemployment in a way inverse to how rent controls result in less available housing.
