I read the article and it fits in with Nancy Pelosi’s vision of a nation of loafers (’artist’ as she called them) or folks who are generally uncommitted to their jobs. This may seem good for any given individual, but I don’t see how it will not hurt the overall economy. Plus, the additional unemployed will find other interesting things to do, resulting in higher crime rates. Perhaps they will form the core of Obama’s tonton macoute “Domestic Security Force”.
Not really good for the individual either. The cliche that idle minds are the devil's workshop is not far from the truth. God gave us work to do. Even when the world was perfect, God gave Adam a job - to keep and dress the Garden. Likewise Paul wrote in his letter to the Thessalonians that he who does not work shall not eat.
No matter what the task, toilet cleaner, teacher, or doctor - all the work we do is to the Glory of a God. Idleness does not glorify His Name.
