Thank goodness for welfare, Medicaid, food stamps, and unemployment compensation. Without those 4 things, what would the country be like?
To quote Jim Rogers:
First you take money from the competent people, then you give it to the incompetent people. Next you tell the competent people to compete with the incompetent people.
It would be okay if people use those 4 things temporarily to make ends meet, but to treat it like full time income is messed up.
I know someone who heads hr for a medium sized insurance company. She tells me she gets as many as 500 resumes for every position they offer. Musical chairs with a fraction of

I know many Electrical/Computer Engineers who graduated in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, who still haven't been able to find employment. From top-20 universities in North America.

In 1999, the same skillset would have landed them all $60-$100k/year jobs. After the collapse of the tech industry, they don't even get acknowledgements. Meanwhile, the traitorous government allows tech firms to claim "shortages of skilled workers", and import people from India on the H1-B visa program.
Maybe this was covered earlier in the thread, but how do you eat without a job? Unemployment for some, but isn't unemployment based on your previous work history? College graduates have no work history.
How do you eat?
