So why aren't govt handout recipiants doing some sort of work for the govt?

[JEDI]

Instead of them sitting on their ass, make them work.
Like cleaning a park

edit:
oopps.. mods please move to P&N

 

[IronWing]

Because they can't find the right forum.

Don't you interrupt the modern progressive voting machine.

Better yet, burn them for heat. Works with babies,.. imagine the heat produced with an entire grown human being!

Why, you could probably power an entire nuclear plant!!

 

[techs]

I would be banned so quickly for posting a P&N thread in Off Topic it would make your head explode.

It wouldn't be a nuke plant then.

Power to the People! Power from the People! People Power! At ATOT Power and Light, people are our most valuable asset.

 

[DesiPower]

They they wont vote for them anymore. And the douche who wants to get elected will promise to make the work part go away!

I don't think this is a P&N thread. He didn't specifically state that it is all Obama's fault.

 

[Soundmanred]

This has never been discussed before.
I bet it's a very interesting conversation!

For the mentally retarded.

We could seriously use some new WPA and PWA programs/projects.

Public employee unions, any funds for public work go in their trough first.

 

[JackOfHearts]

Around here they do work, and have to show proof of looking for work at least 32 hours a week to keep benefits... They're just more people on assistance then we have slots available in cleaning and educational programs...

Contractors are the folks who tend to scream the loudest and most effectively when these types of programs are proposed.

wheres this?
and the govt don't rotate? like work 6 months, then let another person work?
that way everyone on assistance will work?

build up their self esteem and pride?

what kind of contractors are threatened by people on govt assistance?

 

[IronWing]

what kind of contractors are threatened by people on govt assistance?

Anyone who has a business that would like to provide services to the government. Landscapers, painters, temp agencies, construction companies, etc.

 

[destrekor]

what kind of contractors are threatened by people on govt assistance?

The contractors who currently do the work that the programs would be designed around.

What would be the point of a work program for the kinds of jobs Americans won't do?

 

[who?]

I want them to have lots of time for applying and interviewing and subsidized cell phones so employers can call them.

 

[Incorruptible]

These programs should be abolished but that won't happen so making them work is an excellent idea. Make them work and earn the money instead of doing nothing all day.

What he said, but the private companies would scream to bloody hell.

Considering the way infrastructure going to hell these days and should be repaired, but is a lot of red tape involved these days.

Actually all these anti Obama twits should have the ghost of FDR kicking them in the face.

 

[SheHateMe]

Because they don't have a security clearance.
