While there is abuse in the system for sure, it's not rampant. I know personally of several who have been pounding the pavement every day, filling out apps, dropping off resumes, attending job fairs, etc. and with the unemployment rate here hitting 14%, jobs are getting and have been getting hard to come by.
I don't think everyone should be punished due to a couple who are abusing the system.

It is more than a couple, just check FB about people bragging about it, LOL.
But, as most things no one ever sees the Middle of the road, most people are for or against a program. Why not have a middle road, where the people who can Prove they are pounding the streets, and not being to picky on jobs and pay, then they should keep getting the benifits. This is exactly what the programs was intended to be used for, to get you by, when between jobs, as long as you are looking for a job full time.
As with anything one Bad apple spoils the bunch. I do believe with unemployment, there are Many Many people abusing the system, either not looking for jobs, or working under the table!
