Whether you want to believe it or not, the Republicans want more people out of work and broke because they can regain power in November more easily if the country is in a bigger shithole. If you don't think the party establishment thinks like that, then you don't understand how politics really works.
But overall, America is becoming a very un-American place. There is this new attitude of "every man for himself" that has been rising. I don't know if it's misplaced racism, or people are scared of a changing world or whatever. But talk that unemployment makes people not work, and senators using metaphors about feeding stray animals to describe those receiving unemployment benefits just isn't America as far as I am concerned.
Deregulation and a corporate take over of government has led to our situation where there are virtually no middle class jobs left in this country. We are in a transitional period and to not lend people a hand during this time just makes no sense to me. If you want to live in a world where it's every man for himself, go live in Somalia and tell me how you like it because that's how they do things in third world countries.
