Estimates for 2004: Motion.
I have great difficulty with the language used to justify some of these measures, particularly the term "disincentive to employment". No one decides to give up a job. People lose their jobs when their place of work shuts down. Given the way the economy is going, people have no choice if they are out of work. There is no disincentive to employment. It is unfortunate and regrettable, but one cannot blame those who have lost their jobs.
