Maybe we are doomed: 24% Say Government Should Hire Long-Term Unemployed

Hey you idiots, that's the problem now. Dingbats, get off you butt and find work, drive a cab whatever, I did for many years. We have friends who homeschooled and raised nine children. He has never had a permanent job in his life, but is continually hustling this and that and has supported his family all these years while the mother did/is doing the schooling. Now, he's an example to look up to.

================================

The number of Americans who believe the federal government should assume financial responsibility for the long-term unemployed has increased throughout 2011. Most, however, still reject that approach.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that 36% of American Adults believe that the government should either hire the long-term unemployed (24%) or extend unemployment benefits indefinitely (12%). That’s up from 30% in June and 26% in March.

The number who prefer having the government hire the long-term unemployed is up to 24% from 15% in June.

Fifty-six percent (56%) reject the notion of assuming long-term financial responsibility for the unemployed. That’s down since June and includes 23% think the government should pay for retraining while a third (33%) says the government should do nothing. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
