Heck no. I don't think 40 million new government employees in Obama's Civilian Army is a good idea.
Just one more rich racist white guy who wants hold the people down while projecting his own guilt feelings on the poor oppressed folks who have been deliberately crammed into the worst part of town because that’s the only place whites will let them live.
That’s why the rice fields are being cleared for planting, as we speak.
When you give someone a handout you lose wealth.
When you give them a job you still have the money you gave them because you have received production of equal value.
It would help if those posting ACTUALLY read the article. This guy was a big government socialist, but found a better way. He advocates WORKING first, and the elimination of cash welfare benefits.

We tried to get some common sense restrictions on their activities, only to be met by this well organized mob of professional do-gooders. The problem with attacking poverty is that you're dealing with a triple self-interest group: the “clients”, the people “serving” the clients, and the politicians pandering to the first two, all of them full of self-righteousness and spewing pseudo-morality, and none of them remotely concerned about the damage they're doing to the quality of life of the majority of the community.
He's not talking about getting them government jobs. He's had success in placing these supposedly unemployable welfare recipients in private sector jobs.
I'm with you. But I think there is still merit to this guy's ideas. The first thing we need to do is to get America working again. And that means raising import tariffs.
We are buying from the Chinese and employing them instead of buying American. And Governmental trade policy can change that.
Once there are private sector jobs available, then we can move welfare recipients to work. And in the process we will increase government revenues and decrease government outlays and much of our budget problem will go away.
Can’t buy a luxury car and nice place on welfare.

I had a creative writing prof used to say “If you can’t shoot your wad in 1,000 words, you’re in the wrong business”. Care to do a word count in this tome?

Well said, sir, well said.

Lets see, we have an out of control horde of regulatory agencies costing private industry $10 Trillion a year and we have the highest corporate tax rates in the industrialized world. Both are major factors in driving corporations to more business friendly economies.
As a solution you propose driving those punishing policies to foreign producers, driving prices up for your fellow Americans. I’d prefer making the US competitive once again by a major reduction in regulations and a complete elimination of corporate taxes!
The obamaphone class isn’t interested in being “uplifted”. It is ONLY interested in how much they can get for free.
“Another signature achievement of Vera’s, by the way, was its practice of conducting research on its own initiatives, something practically unheard-of at the time. Almost all War on Poverty programs shied away from serious empirical research, since they were mainly run by people with an ideological belief in the redemptive power of their own programs. Measuring the performance of their antipoverty efforts threatened that belief.”
Just like global warming, just like gun control.
