@ Lowing
For all your talk about how awful the unemployed are, did you know that most western governments actually have policies to ensure something around 5% of the available workforce (not including those who can't work) is kept unemployed.
When you hear on the news that interest rates have been increased to prevent inflation, that means that the government (or in the US case the FED) has decided to increase interest rates in order to try and make a load of people lose their jobs. The reasoning is that if unemployment gets low enough, employers will struggle to find replacement workers, meaning that the current employees can easily make demands for increased wages, benefits, conditions etc. This is very bad for business owners as their wage costs will begin to shoot up leading to inflations and wage spirals. The solution is to try and get companies to fire more workers by upping interest rates. This increases the number of unemployed meaning that the employer can easily replace low skilled workers and they are therefore not in a position to do anything but accept whatever pay the employer is willing to offer.
Whereas you can blame people for being in the 5% that don't have a job, you can't claim that the fact that there is unemployment is entirely because the unemployed aren't trying hard enough. It's government policy to ensure that they remain unemployed. If all the unemployed did get a job, it would literally cripple the economy of that country. However hard everyone works there will always be around 5% unemployment. This is why the rich should spend some of their money looking after the poor. If they didn't, and forced them all to get jobs, they'd be ruined. Supporting the unemployed is a really good deal for employers.
see 'non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment' or 'Nairu' for more details.

There is something of a trend in that regard these days... but having said that a lot of people on the right use that as a convenient catch-all dismissal for arguments against US Government policy that are often entirely valid and worthy of serious consideration.Pug wrote:

Interesting, I still failed to see where the govt. maintains this as purposely keeping people out of work. I see it more along the lines that it is a given that some people simply will not work and that number is used in its formulas. Now, if you can give some examples as where the govt. has gone out of their way to purposely keep an educated person with credentials of achievement from working because they have a quota to maintain, I am all ears.PureFodder wrote:

And if you look at the FED's blurb about itself you'll see that it's aims are to minimize unemployment and provide price stability. The point of this ttheory is that you simply can't have zero unemployment and maintaind price stability.
