Reply to comment by Hib3rnian in A Harrisburg news channel did feature on how bad PA unemployment is by Friendly-Effect-1691

The cruelty is the point.

It should be easy to get UC, but there’s this asinine prejudice against the people who use this system.

Rather than the old “better that ten guilty men go free than one innocent suffer,” our government seems to take the approach “better that 10 families starve than 1 person scam the system.”

As tax payers, we're all potential users of the system at some point in time.

The fact it's been so "cluster fucked" should be an outrage especially at a time when so many need UC, and based on predictions on the economy, so many more will soon.

Drives me nuts that people are so caught up in how "this political party is doing this and that political party is doing that" when citizens can't get simple services today that worked fine less than 3 years ago. And cost the taxpayers millions for what is essentially less.

THATS where the outrage should be focused. THATS what needs to be fixed now.
