You take the average American and put them in the unemployment line for a few months, and I'd like to see how great they look. Are they irresponsible? Duh. Is it wide spread? Absolutely. So, they're tax money is paying for the idiotic decisions they are making that have already caught up with people less fortunate than them. Don't forget that the ones collecting benefits were probably paying taxes before they fell on hard times, too.

Ummm.....Then it's ok than to spend every last penny you have? You say that these people are irresponsible and admit they put themselves in this situation yet you clear them of any responsibility and talk as if it's "not their fault".
