Unemployment leading to unemployment

Currently, people are relying too much on others and not enough on themselves.  The government created this so amazing life saving thing called unemployment income.  It is basically easy money, well not so easy because it makes our society lazy.  If the government was not providing money to anyone who asks for it then more people would feel obligated to getting a job therefore leading our economy out of this small depression.  I do agree that some people are not capable of getting a job due to disabilities or child care however, more people are capable than not.  Unemployment leaves this leisure time for people to find another job after they are laid off or quit.  also, it unemployment did not exist, people would have to learn to save more money in order to reassure their assets will stay if they loose their job.  In 2010 "...an astounding 37 percent of people between the ages of 18-29 are unemployed or out of the workforce" states Akst in the essay 5 Myths About Generation Debt.  It makes me wonder what this percentage would have been if unemployment insurance did not exist.
