Hello Lance. In order to answer your question, I am forced to repeat. You will all please forgive me.

Although I am probably the most radical poster here
in terms of my political views, I have absolutely no porblem in taking any money/benefits that the
government will give me. I may be radical but I'm not
stupid. Chances are that money would be wasted
otherwise, or (even worse) spent on policies and
programs that I oppose. Thus, I never pass up a nickel,
and that is what made collecting unemployment comp.
so sweet. Honestly, the fact that it was "government money" coming back to me made up for the loss of
purchasing power. How's that? Clear enough?

Now my good friends, I am "gone to Texas". I trust you
will all carry on until such time as I return (if any).
