“Should Democrats play it safe with a job guarantee?”

Playing it safe?? This is hardly a proposal that is likely to be popular with most Americans, especially at a time of statistically full employment. Another monstrously large and expensive bureauocracy whose sole and obvious purpose is to kiss up to RAT voters who don’t want jobs anyway. Yeah, this is a sure winner.

They are going to need a bigger rubber room. Like the one that they use for NY teachers who cannot be fired.

Can I poke a hole in that?

These employees will be unfireable. How do you fire someone from a guaranteed job?

The salary from the guaranteed job will be higher than welfare.

The DEMS are selling guaranteed jobs as a back door to increasing welfare.

You put a guy on a road crew and he leans on his shovel and playing with his phone all day. What do you do?

I guess we got him off the couch, but not much else, except adding to the deficit and debt.

You don't. You withhold their salary, or whatever part they didn't "earn."

The salary from the guaranteed job will be higher than welfare.

That will be true unless the pay level is strictly defined by the legislation.

Of course they are. Everything libs do is a lie, and it's all geared toward taking from productive people and rewarding unproductive parasites. But with welfare, society doesn't get ANYTHING back. At least this way, the leeches are required to do something to earn their keep.

I haven’t paid them a thin dime in over two years.
