Plan to create a leisure class of loafers in US welfare push
The San Antonio Express News reports proposed AB 6282 and SB 1991 would raise Texas unemployment taxes by 50 to 100 million dollars by 1967 to 1975, funding a large welfare scheme. Critics warn it would subsidize insolvent states, burden Texas with over 200 million in benefits before federal equalization funds help, and make reforms to deny benefits for those avoiding work nearly impossible. The piece argues the plan blurs loafers from those truly unemployed and calls for state checks on jobless benefits.
