Trump will have to attack welfare fraud as part of his jobs program. This is because savvy welfare dependents can “earn” about 60k while not working. Trump may bring jobs, but they may not pay as much as not working. As more jobs are available, welfare fraud needs to be squeezed out. What Maine did recently requiring community service for welfare should be applied nationally.

I've been thinking about this lately. In the old days, work would drive people to move toward it. If a new mine opened up, manufacturer, some new project, people would flood toward it. Following the money for a livelihood.

Today, people still follow the money, only it's being doled out for NOT working. THIS is the source of our immigration problems, our unemployed work force, etc. Being the drawdown and eventual elimination of paying people to remain idle, and all kinds of entrepreneurial will start happening as everyone will be looking for work or creating work, doing whatever they can to make a living. They will start applying at those oil field jobs that are two states away. They'll get serious about learning a skill. Right now, all you have to know is how to fill out forms to have money sent to you.

The normal human condition contains the drive to survive. The FED gov is taking total advantage of this by leading people to WANT to sign up for all the benefits because it pays better than work. This will collapse the whole system eventually. But when everyone worked for a living, and sought work as soon as they were out of school or before, the country prospered.
