Maine requires welfare recipients to work or volunteer

Featured Replies

I really like this. Tighten up the cracks so the truely needed are covered and let this thing roll out across other states.

 

As a country these are the type of things we have to try. If not we are clearly headed down the wrong path.

Great plan.

 

Now find a way to attach children's grades and school attendance to their parent's governmental assistance, and we will kill the culture of dependency with education.

 

YES YES YES!

Maine gets it.

 

I love this plan.

To entice employers to hire and basically take a risk on those retrained should they be allowed to pay less than minimum wage to start out? Or will that ruin a good wedge issue politically?

Not fair to the worker. Often the reason they don't work is they have a better living not gainfully employed, so I would think you would want to give them the full wage.

 

Maybe companies get a tax break.

It's either that or a government subsidy to prop up the wages.

It is a start. IMO, the benefits will compound. The people will possibly gain skills, or at least better habits which will provide better examples for their children which will reduce special needs children leading to better educated people in the long run.
