The solution is to fix the program, not cut off all aid.

Sorry, but the solution is to cut off all aid. We need to get the government completely out of the employment business. A good start is to eliminate minimum wage, then completely privatize unemployment insurance. (If you want it, you buy it.) To save some real bucks, the Labor Dept. should be completely defunded. It is time for Americans to exercise a little rugged individualism. Our nation is filled with wusses. No self respecting man would ever go to the government to get help finding a job. By the way, it is not all that rugged to look for one on your own. It is time to shame liberal metrosexuals into becoming real men.

Nonsense. I used the 'spot jobs' (short term temp work, single event jobs) to get connections and make some extra money (while I was in the process of starting my own business). I never landed a full time job through the government. Word of mouth was my best shot.

A self-respecting man will find a job and feed his family however he has to, and would be a fool to ignore anything which might help. While they seldom help you, you can get their listings and pursue leads on your own.

Just like the “solution” to the tax code monstrosity is to add more deductions here and subtract some deductions over here (depending on which party is in power and who’s vote they’re trying to buy this election cycle)

Just scrap it all and have a flat tax.

All DC’s ‘solutions’ are more window dressing. Charities are for charity and government is not.
