Move to Europe if you expect to be compensated after 99 weeks of not working

It is downright disingenuous for Obama to refer to this as a temporary or emergency extension. I'm sorry, but this is money that we don't have. (here) Move to Europe if you expect compensation for not working after 2 years.

As (I think) Jack Kemp has said, "If you want more of something, subsidize it." Unemployment "insurance" in this context is subsidizing unemployment, and I have seen a friend waiting around for the payments to stop before she went to work doing something she didn't prefer to do. Anecdotal, I know, but also logical.
