People rather get unemployment benefits than work.

Its the classic unintended consequences argument. Pay people to not work and they will prefer it to working. Extending unemployment benefits increases unemployment. I know that manual landscaping work is at the bottom of the pay scale.

Even if you agree with unemployment insurance, how do we continue to help people who are really out of work and are activily looking without paying for those who abuse the system?
