Using the scientific method, prove that people who live in places where welfare is an option will consistently refuse the opportunity to be employed.

[url=http://econjwatch.org/articles/the-unemployment-impact-of-the-2008-extension-of-unemployment-insurance-as-high-as-robert-barro-suggested]Rebuttal[/url] by Stephen Mullens (PHD, Econometrics specialist) says The UI benefit extensions that have occurred between the summer of 2008 and the end of 2010 are estimated to have had a cumulative effect of raising the unemployment rate by .77 to 1.54 percentage points. You won't find a single economist that says longer unemployment insurance, or even unemployment insurance in general, does not increase the unemployment rate at all - the question is how much.
