show that to be the case. what i believe, just like i did with welfare reform when we reformed welfare, we sent it back to the states and we gave the states the flexibility to design these programs. just as i would do here with unemployment insurance. it should go back to the states, let the states design it. if south carolina, because of a unique situation, wants to have a longer unemployment period of time because of a unique situation here, fine. but to have a federal program that roughly and crudely tries to assess the problem of unemployment from state to state and area to area is the wrong approach. what we should do is have it just like welfare. give it to the states, put a time limit n the case of welfare it was 40 weeks. give flexibility to the the stao operate those programs. and even unemployment, you can have, as we did on welfare, have some sort of work requirement or job training requirement as a condition. we aren t doing people any favors by keeping them on unemployment
