All while the economy is in the worst recession ever.
It can only help that less people are working.
That's exactly how macro economics works.
That's how an economy thrives.
Makes perfect sense.

So you saying that housewives and stay at home moms are bad for the economy?
My wife - who only works because she needs healthcare - will become a stay at home mom, freeing up another job for someone that needs it.
Again, you try to twist this into a bad thing. It's not that "less people will be working". Instead it will be some people who don't really need to work will leave their jobs, freeing them up for people who do need them.
This is just a basic common sense issue that it's blowing my mind that people don't get it. Two million people will leave their jobs and no longer work because they no longer need to work, freeing up two million jobs. Unemployment will go down, and we'll spend less money in government support. The economy will not miss these two million people who no longer work, because an additional two million will step up and take their place.
The only two numbers that change here will be unemployment will go down, and there will be less people on government support.
