Re: Mayor Thinks People on Welfare 'Flaunt It,' Has Plan to post welfare recipients i
The "billboard suggestion" was in answer to exactly whom should be put on billboards; the poor, or the convicted thief. So...
The some people who don't want to get out of poverty are another good target of revision, but there's always that 30%, so we can't MAKE them work and the majority have kids, so... what now?
By and large we agree. "Expensive and pointless"?, so was going to the moon, so was the war in Iraq, etc etc etc. It's about social priorities. If we can gain by spending the money, then we gain. If we don't gain, then why not? And don't get me wrong, poverty is an industry, there's no doubt about that, so - we find the CEOs of the different branches and get them to do other things...
Your plan sounds expensive and pointless. While I agree that auditing is a good idea (though some States already do hold the precipitants of welfare responsible for their actions) and bringing back real jobs is always a winner. and of course removing the illegal worker element will improve job security for millions of people. Putting peoples faces on billboards is grand standing at its lowest. And is a bit too despotism for my tastes.
As a nation we do care about poverty, but then we also recognize that some people dont care about getting themselves out of poverty. Freedom and liberty will always allow there to be poverty. Poverty will go away when people have no right to be lazy. But for those that are trying we should be more accommodating. So as to keep them out of poverty. But all that is hard when partisan hacks are fighting over their parties/factions BS.
