In Canada atleast, unemployment insurance is paid for by workers. The government puts nothing in to it.

More half-truths:
The Dominion Government contributes to the unemployment fund one-fifth of the aggregate deposits of employers and employees and also bears the cost of administering the system and of maintaining the public employment offices. Exclusive of administrative expenses, the costs of the system are borne in the following proportions: Employer, five-twelfths; employee, five-twelfths; Government, two-twelfths,
The employer pays the total of his own and his employees' contributions. The portion due from the employee may be recovered by the employer by wage deduction.
