Workers who strike want free money from taxpayers.
Get in line.
People who voluntarily took on debt to pay for college want free money from the government (i.e. me, the taxpayer) and are getting it.
Bankers who gambled with clients' funds and got million dollar bonuses already got their free money in the GFC. And have and will, again and again, before, and after (like the LTCM crisis so long ago, and recently JPM buying failed First Republic bank but with FDIC backstop).

It's ironic that Democrats crib about people keeping their own money - oooh, look at Trump lowering taxes, but understandable, because they can't spend it on giveaways. I am glad Newsom showed some spine for once.
(Republicans did it too, but reluctantly. In the GFC, at first they voted against the bailout before Bush realized that this sucker could go down.)

Workers who go on strike generally don't qualify for unemployment benefits, with the exceptions of workers in New York and New Jersey.

It's ironic that republicans were happy to pile trillions of dollars onto the nation's debt with those Trump tax cuts and then wanted to close down the government based on that debt but only when a democratic president took the White House.

In any event, now your posts make a lot more sense.

I am glad you could pigeonhole my politics, which I have never been able to do.

My point was, if it is irresponsible to have "giveaways" to the rich by letting them keep more of their own money, how much more irresponsible it would be to give free money to people who voluntarily decide not to work. But you missed that.
