Why Are People Lumping Unemployment Compensation Into “welfare?”?

Question by Josh L: Why are people lumping unemployment compensation into “welfare?”?
So I’m reading Yahoo articles about drug testing for welfare recipients. Great Idea I’m thinking. Then they start talking about receipients of Unemployment compensation. Last I checked Unemployment was an insurance program regulated by the state. Employers pay into it and my wages are reduced accordingly. How does that equate to welfare?
Unemployment is self sufficient 95% of the time. Just because employers pay into it means nothing. The fact that they have to pay into it reduces MY wages. All together that means I paid for my unemployment, no one else. I could collect unemployment for the next three years and still only come up even with what has been paid in for me the past 18 years. That is why it is not welfare.
