Great episode, Professors Loury and Rhoads! And Wahoowa to Professor Rhoads!

Regarding the debate between Glenn and his wife, it seems to me that it is not a question of moralizing or otherwise casting aspersions on the long-term unemployed, but rather of historical evidence of what happens when benefits for the unemployed are increased or decreased quantitatively and/or temporally. Unless my understanding of the evidence is inaccurate, it's the difference between how we'd like things to be and how they actually are.
