I disagree with you Ed,,,,I think 26 weeks paid for by the state is fine,,,and if additional time is applied for, let the state pay for 1/2 and the feds throw in the other half of the weekly amount. 52 weeks, MAX!

If the Feds can throw away dollars on PORK crap, then they can afford to pizz away some more. Raise the taxes on alcohol purchases, and add a higher sales tax rate to fast-fat-food restaurants. The alcohol-drunk consumers and fat azzes who want to eat junk, can afford it The tobacco users have already paid their share...

I think 52 weeks max is acceptable, but once you become employed, you have to pay back anything over 26 weeks.
