All unemployed people on welfare/unemployment should be forced to pick up trash in their community when not looking for a job. Why do they get free poo poo and get to sit around when not looking for job? 40 hours of some kind of work should be mandatory for all US citizens.

we should put them to work faking the moon landing imo

then we wouldn't need trash guys & they'd be unemployed

no, they would be employed, picking up trash like before, but they would now only get welfare instead of a wage. a much more efficient system

Most people on welfare can't work, at least in Canada

that, and it can have negative effects on growth. sorry mr buisness owner, you can't expand because there's nobody to hire, we're paying all the poor people to scare birds away from buildings or pick up tin cans or something

gotta keep a portion of the labor fluid. any capitalist society should realize this and compensate with a robust welfare system, ha, lol, etc

unless he offers them a better paying and/or more rewarding job than bird scaring

They could at least run on a treadmill to generate energy or crank a hand wheel.

I like how my friends on Facebook that are the angriest about Poors and Welfare are the ones who grew up Poor and on Welfare

Having escaped being poor and on welfare, I can say...

Well, gently caress you. You'd never understand anyway.

I think that the ones who have "escaped" are terrified that they'll be right back there if they make the wrong move.

Hell, my girlfriend grew up poor and she and her family can be less than charitable towards the poor, and that's exactly what their situation is.
