Already a program called unemployment to help such people, and it is not welfare, it is more like insurance. Anyone whose resume is worth a damn will always bounce back from such unfortunate events. I was there several time working for the airlines, but I refused to accept unemployment. I always found another job (yes even out of state ) during the time period between my lay-off notice and lay-off date. I have never been without a job. It is called being marketable, and that is a personal responsibility issue that is YOURS to take care of, not the govts. IE the tax payer IE, ME.
Did you have a family to feed?
Yes I do,  a wife and 2 sons.
Did you while you qualified for unemployment?

I most certainly did. That above all was my motivation NOT to go on unemployment. I refuse to have my family see me without a job.

Well, I respect your viewpoint, but I think it's safe to say that not everyone succeeds with the decision you made.

Plenty of people start out refusing services, but when they can't find work after a month or so, they have no choice but to seek assistance.  I don't see any logical reason to turn people away if they only need help for a short period of time.

The amount we spend per person on welfare is a paltry sum compared to corporate welfare and various other pork barrel projects.

I agree but again unemployment is not welfare.
