Read this post earlier: "Honestly the government should not extend benefits anymore but instead the government should be paying the people to do much needed work in this country. Why not take that money and tell the people we have jobs for you and have them start fixing up the roads, electrical infastructure and/or other things that need to be done. They did this in the great depression with the parks system have we not learned anything from the past. An honest days wages for an honest days work is the priniciple America was founded on. Can you imagine the impact this would have in areas like New orleans and the areas around it. Pay people to work to cleanup the mess and build new homes. Pay people to work on roads that need repair badly. Pay people to help one another in some shape or form..... is that not what God put us on this earth to do in the first place. Helping clean up innercities. Restore old factories and fit them to build new items of importance and and in the future.
We just cant afford to pay people for doing nothing."
