To the Editor:
Paul Krugman is at a loss to explain why some people oppose extending
unemployment benefits. One reason people hold such an opinion is that
when government subsidizes something, there tends to be more of it.
The more government subsidizes unemployment, the more people will
indulge in it for longer periods of time.
