Twisted Logic from MSNBC's Hayes: Paying People Not to Work Encourages Them to 'Get Back to Work' | NewsBusters

Twisted Logic from MSNBC's Hayes: Paying People Not to Work Encourages Them to 'Get Back to Work' | NewsBusters: "Friday's All In with Chris Hayes exhibited host Hayes's latest example of fuzzy logic as he argued that paying people unemployment benefits, rather than encouraging them to go longer without taking a new job, actually encourages them to "get back to work."
