One of the things about this 13 months of unemployment insurance is that if people haven't found a job already, rather than pay them not to work for over a year, train them to do a different job where there are jobs. That is the more caring thing to do. And one more comment about the tax policy that took all of my great aunt's land.

At the end of the auction, most everybody had left, and the observation I had is there was nothing amazing or graceful about that policy.
