First of all offering those jobs to those on unemployment is one thing, after their actual benefits run out. When you work you pay into it, via your employer which means you have a vested interest in it. During that time, in Ohio at least, depending on your job classification you must either report to the union office periodically, attempt to find a job in your field, or accept any work offrered. those are (or were) the three classifications. During that time you are not required to take a job paying significantly less than you were making before the layoff. However..........
After a while the government extensions kick in at which time your stake in it is gone. Should those people be forced to pick cotton (figuratively) ? Maybe maybe not.
So the article says most people don't make it past lunch. Is it the hard work or the low pay ? Well there are construction workers whose jobs are so physically demanding that just about anything would be easier, but they make real money.
Now think of this in terms of how the jobs are going in this country. You have people making half what they used to make. You have highly skilled unemployed people all over the place. And now this. What seems to be going on here ? It seems that everything conspires to lower the standard of living for the average US citizen. The health care thing is ridiculous, I don't see how it will cost the government a fucking dime since either we or our employers will have to pay for it. Taxes can't get much lower, face it if you make $29,000 a year and have three kids your income tax refund is more than you paid in. That's not going to balance the budget, and that means anyone who saves money is losing money, unless they can keep it offshore. People with low five figures in the bank don't usually do that. Want real retirement ? Rape your 401K and put all the money in offshore investments. Sad but true. Even if you make money here currency devaluation will eat it up.
The govewrnment made it cost effective to move all the manudacturing the fuck out. The government made it possible for Wall street to fuck people over all day long. The government has now removed the cheap labor needed top keep food almost affordable. Just what the fuck have they done for us lately ?
Those people all over the street on Wall street are picketing the right people, when they get down to DC it will be time to trade their signs for guns. Wll street is just a bunch of greedy motherfuckers, it is their nature to do what they do. The government is who sold us out and all of them should hang for treason because these greedy motherfuckers are literally preying on this country and as such are a dangerous enemy. the government has abdicated it's responsibility to keep this shit from happening. Another 9/11, just bit more subtle. Yes, the shock and awe will be delayed.
And if big business didn't eat up half the profits in food, farmers COULD afford to pay minimum wage.
And lemme clue you in on something, when you work hard physically, you usually don't need much health care.
Fuck, maybe I'll go down there and pick "cotton" or whatever. The economy in this state leaves much to be desired. Start a business ? Hell they would put me in a looney bin and then I could get a check. In fact if I start a business I will turn muself in.
