The Unemployment Insurance Debate in Washington DC Is About Everything But Getting Americans Back to Work – What About Taking Some of This “Unemployment Insurance” Money And Putting Americans to Work in Their Local Communities? – We Call it the: Work For America Program – Hell, We Are Going To Spend the Money Anyway, Why Not Put Americans to Work!
The Unemployment Insurance Debate in Washington DC seems to dealing with everything but the real problem in the United States today. The problem is that right now there are very few jobs for job seekers and if the United States Government is going to have a policy of paying unemployed Americans for months on end when they cannot find work then the Government should just go ahead and step-in and create work for the jobless to do.
Our proposal here at Mad As Hell And…
The Work For America Program
Current Unemployment Insurance Amount: $300 dollars weekly approx.
Since there is lot of work that can be done in communities throughout the United States, cleaning up parks, painting, rebuilding public facilities, cleaning up schools, cleaning up roads, etc., why not create a new jobs program funded by the US Government? Hell, we are already paying out Unemployment Insurance for what will be over 99 weeks if the Congress acts this week, so why not get Americans to work with that same money?
Work For America Program would pay $100 dollars a week over the $300 dollars weekly amount that Unemployment Insurance now pays and any American could enter this new Work For America Program and they would then report to someone in their local county or city and be assigned work to do in the local community.
Maybe to encourage Americans to enter the Work For America program and to get them out doing work that needs to be done in every local community, we could require that after 90 days (3 months) of not finding work and taking Unemployment Insurance one would be required to then enter the Work For America Program if they still wanted to receive benefits from the American Taxpayer
Would there be waste in this type of jobs program? Well, the government would be involved so of course there would be some waste, but it seems to us that it makes a lot more sense to create some kind of jobs program to gett long-term unemployed Americans back to work. Yes, we can do this because we are the United States of America! Let’s put Americans BACK TO WORK and get the Damn Country Moving Again!
