Our society has apparently lost it's collective sense. How smart do you have to be to figure out if you pay someone more to not work than to work, they will choose to not work? Of course there will be exceptions but is this basic principle, like the more money there is the less it's worth, so hard to grasp? The very people all of this is supposed to help are going to get hurt the worst in the long run. Just one person's opinion and your mileage may vary.
Rant over...

I agree, but the last time Congress could credibly be accused of fiscal responsibility was during Calvin Coolidge's administration.
