The people who choose to work less, are doing so, SPECIFICALLY because they'd rather work less and therefore qualify for federal assistance. Imagine that 2.5 million Americans who are employed, decided that they'd rather quit and collect unemployment checks. The effect will be to add millions to the group of folks receiving public assistance. The folks filling the void will be picking up a few hours here and there, it's not a zero sum game, the net effect is hugely subtractive. Except, in the sense that it will create more people dependent upon public assistance, which is the same thing as saying it will create more people who will vote for the Democrats.
