From the Freep editorial today about how cutting off unemployment benefits is bad
The overall economy in communities and the state also benefits from jobless pay. Various studies suggest that a dollar spent on unemployment benefits lifts the overall economy by anywhere from $1.64 to $2.15. Grocery stores and gas stations get business, the state gets sales tax on basics like toothpaste and shampoo, utility companies get paid.
What a joke!!!
