Work is work, and if a person is or has been fortunate enough to hold down a paying job, and has paid UI taxes, how can anyone justify denying them UI benefits?

Lately the repukes have been singing the tune that college is not for everyone, just the select few. Now they want to be sure we all have HS/GED diplomas? Evidently they want us to be educated, but not TOO educated. Iow, perfect drone material.

Screw this.
