Hey, it’s probably more efficient, more fair, and less corrupt than Obama’s “jobs bills”.
(Not of course that that’s sayin’ much.)
One delusional useless idiot....and closet bigot. =.=

..... too far from the older nutcase!
Of course private business people would not be eligible for any of this funding. They are the source, through taxation, of all the money the gov spends. When you consider the impact of these hundreds of billions on a economy of 12 trillion it is less than a drop in a very large bucket. The only way the gov can support its underclass is by nationalizing all industry and corporate business.
Russia went bankrupt over such practices. China is relinquishing its grasp on business. Wherever the scheme has been tried it has failed. Of course we are the biggest and the best. It is bound to work here.
Hire them to do what? Would they be required to actually show up in order to get paid? What would the penalty be, for example, if they were chronically absent from work? What if they under-performed? Would there even be performance reviews on a quarterly/annual basis, or would these be no-show or idle-time type “jobs”?
Other posters have already mentioned, some welfare recipients would opt out and keep their current deal, because an income of $40K would be a cut for them. Would there be an option for them to do this, or would the current welfare be replaced by this new hire-every-unemployed-citizen plan?
I’d actually like to hear more from Mr Jackson Jr about his “everybody rides” proposal and vision.
Ideally, he could also have his Dad appear with him, to convert the proposal into catchy rhymes, which would more likely be understood by the potential “hires”.
As soon as the check clears the bank and the money is in his account we get words of wisdom from the worlds biggest moron.
