I was probably holding Xist's comment in mind simultaneous to responding to you. There should never be a program in which someone benefits financially by deciding to go from full-time work, to part-time, or from some work to no work. Xist gave an example of how he'd have been better off working less, meaning our elected leaders didn't spend the 3 extra seconds of thinking necessary to formulate a better plan.
