Imagine the jobless total without that extra borrowing.

If the money is spent in the US, it provides jobs, taxes and more jobs and taxes. Of course, you could always pay enough taxes to cover the costs to run a modern country. Let's face it you're willing to buy cheap Thrid World goods, constant migration from Third World Countries, that put Americans out of work. So why not pay the lower costs of Unemployment Benefits.

Again the real problem. Blinkered short sighted view of the political system. I'm sure Trump got a lot of votes by promising to cut taxes.
