The best jobs program is a prosperous economy.
“That’s especially important to people of color and other marginalized Americans, usually shoved to the fringes of employment: They’re the last to benefit from business cycle upswings in private hiring, and the first to get tossed aside in downturns....”
Is this not the crux of their perceived ‘problem’? And, if so, is this not the ‘problem’ on which they should be focused?
And, yet, they offer only more government (taxpayer) spending, and a larger bureaucracy into which they can seed their cronies and hangers-on, to nurse forever at the taxpayer breast.
Perhaps they should be focused on addressing the breakdown of the nuclear family in those constituencies, and the poor educational performance and social ills that come with that.
These people are not so much marginalized, as they have marginalized themselves, with the assistance of the libturds, over the last 75 years as a consequence of the politics of low expectations and victimization so championed by the left.
And, the left’s answer is merely more of the same.
Sick and disgusting.
What good is a job guarantee among those who don’t want a job? Like saying roaches can have a free whiff of Raid anytime they wish....
If we truly have surplus labor not deployed (as I expect) then we have no justification for continuing the H2-B and other visas.
They are afraid of losing black vote on account of Trump’s progress on unemployment rate.
Job guarantee? You WILL do what the government tells you to do. There is another word for this...communism.
If this becomes a “work-for-your-welfare” program, I’m all for it.
Obama’s job guarantee: Minimum wage temporary job = his “new normal”
The LEFT: Everybody should work for the state but we are not socialists.
“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.
