Wrong again. My wife was getting about $350 a week last year when she got laid off. Generally an unemployment check is 50% of your weekly salary up to that $350 a week cap.


As to the second part of your statement, you are way off, but on the low side. It costs about 35k a year to house a prisoner in GA and a little more than that for a federal prisoner.
