Sask Party Platform Welfare for Oil, Wake up

EI welfare to overpaid employees:

Jeeze, funny how our farm programs only cover the basics and don't care if farmer A spends $150/ac more than farmer B. Allowable expenses...

Shouldn't EI only cover the basics and the recipient should somehow be responsible for their own "lifestyle" expenses over and above basics?

It was almost too good and set a false sense of security. With the take-home some of those employees were making, you would think they should have a bit of a nest egg somewhere?

Funny how some people can eke out an existance on minimum wage but some others are always broke earning 5-7 times as much.....who's fault is that?

And I'm not for one second condoning a race to the bottom when it comes to earnings. It's just the extremes I'm pointing out.
