Republicans despise the unemployed. They view them as lazy slackers who want nothing more than to lounge in the hammock of dependency at the expense of hard working people like you and me. That is why legislatures run by the GOP always do everything they can to make the lives of the unemployed as miserable as possible, even if it doesn’t save the public any money.
So what will happen with the huge wave of unemployed people that we’re going to see in the next few weeks? Are they going to be subjected to drug tests and ridiculously onerous job application requirements, even though it is patently obvious that their plight is not their fault?
Watching the backlash on that one–in an election year, no less– should be fun.
