Job guarantee? You WILL do what the government tells you to do. There is another word for this...communism.
When I am as a senior in college back in 1990, I got in some trouble with glug glug vroom vroom. The events of my sentence are basically what started my political awakening. As with most people who ar not career criminals, part of sentencing and the primary method to keep ofherwise productive people out of jail was community service. At the time I was a senior in mechanical engineering at University of Washington in Seattle, and was taking 18 credits. I also was working 25 hours a week, and also supplemented my income by donating blood plasma and any other temp jobs I could get my hands on. So I was pretty busy. But I did the crime and part of my time was now filled by working in soup kitchens in downtown seattle. So I would wake up early saturday And sunday, take the bus downtown and go to work. The work was easy, mostly sorting food donations, separating good vegatables versus spoiled, helping to set dishes up in the buffets, setting up tables and chairs, clearing tables and chairs, and washing dishes afterwards, and just generally being a gofer for any task needing done. Pretty much anybody could do this kind of work, it took no special knowledge or training. What I began to notice is that there were hundreds of people who used these free food services. There were some who truly needed them and though some of these had severe mental issues, some just had physical problems mostly from age. This group in general were very thankfuk for these services. A large majority, however, seemed to have no obvious mental or physical maladies. They shambled in and out day after day, were rude, entitled, made it difficult for the people who were truly in need and needed to be watched like hawks. I said before that I was pretty busy with my own school and work, yet i could not understand why not one of these people who use these services every day could not contribute just a simple hour or two a week. I understand there are some tasks that require a level of trust and some that may be dangerous, and that some of these people may cause more problems and safety issues than they are worth, but surely there must be something. Bussing their own tables perhaps. That started me thinking about the differences of conservative versus liberal.
