    Moron thinks that pay level determines whether one saves or not.

    Just an opinion. But people take Government jobs because once you get the job, you'll never be fired, laid off, or furloughed ... or at least that is the thinking. You'll think you have a permanent revenue stream and budget accordingly. So, I would think this 'temporarily out of work' is a big blow to people that think it would never happen to them.

    He works paycheck to paycheck. His wife pays the mortgage, but that is about the only asset they have accumulated.

    oh really

    then why is it the right has to resort to pretending the short bus school of economics ( that refuses to use MATH) is correct and use it to back their economic claims?

    What happens when they return to work and get back pay? Are they going to be honorable enough to return the unemployment?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilfredo_Pareto




    Vilfredo Pareto



    Vilfredo Federico Damaso Pareto (/pəˈrɛtoʊ/; Italian: [vilˈfreːdo paˈreːto]; born Wilfried Fritz Pareto, 15 July 1848 – 19 August 1923) was an Italian engineer, sociologist, economist, political scientist, and philosopher. He made several important contributions to economics, particularly in the study of income distribution and in the analysis of individuals' choices. He was also responsible for popularising the use of the term "elite" in social analysis.



    He introduced the concept of Pareto efficiency and helped develop the field of microeconomics. He was also the first to discover that income follows a Pareto distribution, which is a power law probability distribution. The Pareto principle was named after him, and it was built on observations of his such as that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by about 20% of the population. He also contributed to the fields of sociology and mathematics, according to the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot and Richard L. Hudson:
    His legacy as an economist was profound. Partly because of him, the field evolved from a branch of moral philosophy as practised by Adam Smith into a data intensive field of scientific research and mathematical equations. His books look more like modern economics than most other texts of that day: tables of statistics from across the world and ages, rows of integral signs and equations, intricate charts and graphs.[3]

    It is quite sad. The other irony is that when they lose elections, they still think they are winning and that America is with them.
