I just don't think that increasing benefits is that much more incentive for abuse than what's currently in place.

How long do the benifits last now?
There comes a time you gotta tell someone to get off their ass and get a job. I've personally worked every kind of job from cleaning horse stalls to surgery, and I'm sick of people being lazy asses and expecting others to pay for it. There are plenty of jobs out there, and maybe they are not your #1 choise, but so what?
