Isn't it too high right now? People are just collecting an extra $600 a week for doing nothing. People aren't paying their rent. Their mortgages. Some people are making more money on unemployment than they did working. Is that the bad behavior you're talking about?

But we're doing it anyway because people are still people and they need to survive. I don't hear anyone calling for an end to social welfare programs as long as they're on one. Do you know anyone who returned their stimulus check? Anyone calling for themselves to be evicted because they can't pay rent? Anyone saying the free meal services should stop allowing them to eat free meals? I'm really not sure what the alternative is that you're suggesting.
