I am sure it doesn't matter to you, but unemployment benefits are not affected by tanks to Ukraine, by Hunter Biden's laptop, by CRT or gun control legislation. Brandon is not coming for your unemployment benefits.

Be at the top not the bottom.

And if you rely on things like "unemployment" look in a mirror not an economics book.

I'm guessing Roger (lay economist) is a subject matter expert on this topic.

It continues to amaze me how worked-up people get over giving Ukraine weapons and ammo (some of which are out of service for us) when this administration has passed spending bills totaling over 7 TRILLION dollars in the last two years.

ETA: Now that you are unemployed, you don't have to worry about your money going there, the rest of us get to help you...the only difference between you and Ukraine is the position of the decimal point.

Employee tax dollars don't go to unemployment. The employer's tax dollars go to unemployment - at least in almost all states. I think there are a few exceptions. I guess in an indirect way you pay the tax as the employer could theoretically pay you more if they didn't have to pay unemployment insurance tax, but we could go around and around with that argument.

Imagine not undersrtanding that federal dollars go to Ukraine and tanks, and state dollars / unemployment contributions fund unemployment.

That tiny FUTA tax is just a backstop to the states.
