And the people who have paid in more than enough to cover it?
Unemployment is a fund people pay into with every paycheck... not a handout.
Surviving on 300-400 a week may be possible, but you wont find too many living in the lap of luxury on that amount in any case.
What does need some serious attention is the misuse of unemployment by people working off the books, organizations that use it as part of a furlough program to maximize the benefit in 'work sharing' programs etc... but that's a matter of curtailing abuse of the program, not a reason to curtail the program as a whole.
