Just as a counterpoint in the "group of friends" pool of data--I know several people in the last few years who went on unemployment. Not one sat around doing nothing. One started a whole new business (and is on the verge of hiring an employee, go job creators!), one joined up with a startup, one went to work in the nonprofit sector, and the few others looked for jobs until they found them. So..to me, free money seems like a real net positive. It lets people maintain a quality of life while they go on to do bigger and better things.
