Unemployed people need some immediate, meaningful, help. Some of the help presently available is temporary as in unemployment benefits. No one out of work wishes to have a lifestyle change that includes handouts instead of a decent paying job. They say that doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity. Well, let's stop the insanity and do something different for the millions of unemployed Americans. However, if nothing is going to be done by our government, that needs to be said also. In my opinion, government intervention for the job crisis is not too much to ask. After all, we spend a lot of money helping other countries solve their many problems. While it is true that the American standard of living, in many cases, is much higher than many foreign countries we still need help to improve our economy. In normal times, Americans are tough and can find ways to survive, but if no jobs are available, what can they do? As I have stated on many occasions, self-employment can be an option for some, but not everyone should be a business owner. Therefore, the long term unemployed must be given some special attention. Even if a person desires to start a business, real help should be available for them, too.
The unemployed need help as a group which would be a win-win for all of us. When people have money they spend it, and support businesses that, in turn, keeps people working.
Unless we are going to return to poor houses,the unemployed need some attention as soon as possible.
