The Democrats demented idea to maintain dependency despite a growing economy

NY Times:

Democrats’ Next Big Thing: Government-Guaranteed Jobs

It’s a big idea from a bygone era: guaranteed employment. But for Democrats veering to the left, it’s only the latest in an aggressive stance toward governance.

This is a terrible idea that Democrats would use to promote dependency rather than encourage people to become independent of government handouts.   They are proposing this bad idea at a time when the number of jobs available is roughly the same as the number of people looking for work.  When those conditions exist it makes no sense to create government makework jobs when people can get real jobs.  What we need are more private sector jobs and fewer government jobs.
