Sliding scale for unemployment benefits?

....what do you think about a sliding scale for unemployment insurance benefits during this downturn? You know.....sort of like the idea of...... I have paid into it for ten years and never used it....so give me a greater benefit than someone who collects benefits every year or two....or someone who has not paid into it very long.....It would sure help those of us that have mortgages stay in our houses....I am a responsible borrower.....I just lost my job in a plant in somewhere USA.....just a thought.....think the government would look at this?
