6. This Republican friend and I were
talking about the high unemployment rate. Of course, he wants to cut off unemployment payments so that some will have to take the low-paying jobs that are available around here. I said that people are barely getting by as it is and those jobs won't pay as much as unemployment. He said that if any jobs are available, they should take them. I said that if these companies want people to work for them, maybe they should pay them more than unemployment insurance does. That's when he called me a Communist.
