bob, what's your take on this? >> my take on this is there are an extraordinary number of people out of work and really hurting. the unemployment benefits, extended benefits they receive are the only thing that keeps them and their families away from december tugs. so as a society, we have to make a decision on whether we want to tennessee providing those benefits for some term in the future or cut them off. as far as the effect of unemployment on people looking for a job, i think it has a small effect. i think a small percentage of jobless people will continue to receive unemployment benefits and will not step up their job search until those benefits run out but that's a very small percentage. a vast majority of people out of work really want desperately to get a job. >> is there a great middle ground between emergency unemployment benefits, not very much compared to what people typically earn and getting them off unemployment. what if we really put some thought to what stephen was saying, a whole bunch of people
