Its success lies in the fact that it's an insurance plan, not an investment plan or a welfare plan.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A plan is always successful if the plan is good.
Understand, this is unemployment insurance. It's not welfare, as a lot of my Republican colleagues like to suggest it is. You pay into it when you're working. You get help when you're not.
The do-it-yourself version of pensions is a flop, as many Americans have painfully learned.
I was once a welfare recipient and am very aware of the successes and failures of this critical safety net. There are those that would have us believe that those receiving TANF benefits are lazy, shiftless, freeloaders who are just sitting around thinking of another way to suckle from the government teat.
Social Security is a family insurance program, not an investment scheme.
Goodness is the only investment that never fails.

Not having insurance not only destroys your life, it destroys your fiscal life. It breaks up marriages. You cannot functions anywhere unless you have good health.
Failing to plan is planning to fail.
