Accordingly, the surest way for the government to fight poverty is to eliminate cash assistance almost entirely and offer jobs instead

bbbbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

Heck no. I don't think 40 million new government employees in Obama's Civilian Army is a good idea.

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.
