Unemployment is NOT a job! How out of touch can you get?

Are these people so utterly clueless that they do not know that there's a difference between holding a job, being part of the economy and COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT?

Talking to reporters, the House speaker was defending a jobless benefits extension against those who say it gives recipients little incentive to work. By her reasoning, those checks are helping give somebody a job.
