Unemployment

When the teacher assigned this blog I was worried. I had no idea about what it was or why everyone seemed to know about it and I didn't. After asking around and getting many different opinions, I was left to figure out how I feel about it. I sort of have mixed feelings in regards to this, but I tend to lean toward being against extending unemployment. While I feel that people that have lost their jobs and need the money to support themselves and their families, I also feel that they may get to comfortable and lazy. I know that if someone was giving me money every month, I wouldn't be in a hurry to look for a job. I think if people are faced with the fact the money isn't going to be coming for long, that it will urge them to hurry and find a job. I think that extending the unemployment is wrong in a way because it may be making people feel content without working, and in the United States, that is something that should be discouraged due to the fact that it seems to be a growing problem.
