If one needs to be paid cash to be a decent and responsible individual, our society is in trouble. Liberals think people can be motivated to be good by bribing them. They have it exactly backwards. Good people have the RIGHT values. DUH

Brain dead Liberalism at its best.

Reminds me when unemployment benefits were tied into the recipient actually looking for a job & getting an interview.

I was running a startup company in Stamford, CT in a mixed commercial zoned business park.

The prospective “interviewees” (large grain of salt here) would come by the dozens “cold calling” to get a signature so they could get their check.

I told the receptionist to start telling them they we would gladly interview them for the openings we have but they would have to fill out this 10 page application and wait about an hour or so for their interview.

Needless to say, there were no takers and word got around to stay away from my company!

Gosh, that's swell. So where, exactly, does Bloomie plan to get that money? Is it that all the money belongs to the government and that it gets to spend it however it pleases? Or is it "from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs"? I read that somewhere one time - maybe it was in the Constitution...the one Bloomie's operating under, anyway.

Here's "The OC" version from today's Orange County Register:

Century High teen wins car in attendance raffle
Century High junior Isaias Ocampo won a new Chevrolet Aveo.

...The 16-year-old, who still doesn't have his driver's license, had won a brand new Chevrolet Aveo valued at $13,425.

...Ocampo was chosen in a raffle Saturday for the white, four-door compact car out of 606 eligible high school students in the Santa Ana Unified School District.

The students didn't miss a day of class for this past semester, from February through the end of May. Students' grades weren't considered in the giveaway, officials said.

The cash-strapped district offered the car as part of an effort to improve student attendance. Guaranty Chevrolet in Santa Ana donated the vehicle. Santa Ana Unified officials, who recently trimmed $17 million from the district budget, hoped the giveaway would save the district money by curbing absenteeism. Every day a student misses school costs the district about $25 to $40.

District spokesperson Angela Burrell said Sunday that it's still too early to determine if the car giveaway led to lower absenteeism rates this past semester.
