Unemployment was never meant to be a welfare program

Unemployment was created during the Great Depression in the middle 1930's as a temporary assistance between jobs mostly due to manufacturing, timber and industrial jobs during a slow down when workers were not working.  Since 2007 you could request an additional 99 weeks of unemployment.  Most people are simply not taking the first job given and are using unemployment like public assistance.  That is not what unemployment was meant to be.  Democrats want to keep this program.  I think with the elimination of the additional 99 weeks you will have more people working.  The economy will do better.  The other is role back the regulations that prevent the economy from moving
