Reply to comment by DumbshitOnTheRight in Re-education unemployment benefit? by angiehsu

She isn't poor. She has 155k invested at 25 and is pursuing a graduate program. Can you afford that? I can't.

I absolutely believe in people taking advantage of benefits programs, who need them, and I'm happy to pay taxes that contribute to that. But I'm against benefits programs being abused by people who don't actually need them.

Since when is total assets a determinant for whether someone can claim unemployment and training?

You know what, you're right and I'm not looking to argue a moot point. I still stand that those who have the means to live should reserve benefits for those who truly need it, but it's not up to me to decide who actually qualifies. I made a snap judgement from the pieces of information I saw, but if the powers to be determine they qualify for benefits, I won't argue lest I ever need help.
