If President-elect Donald Trump is going to meet his pledge to energize the U.S. economy, there's a simple yet tough way to do so: Put more men to work.
The proportion of men in their prime working years who either have a job or are looking for one has been dropping for decades – and limiting economic growth in the process.
The full brunt of the 60-year decline burst into view during the 2016 election. Trump triumphed in part by vowing to restore jobs at steel mills, auto plants and coal mines – the types of work that had once employed legions of men who lacked a college education....

Evidently the AP hasn’t noticed...It’s already started...
Or maybe they just don’t want to admit it...
Step 1 cut off Welfare for able bodied men able to W O R K!!
In other words the 8 years of Obama didn't help?
I was just going to post that. Even Bill Clinton, with a little help from Newt, figured that out pretty quick.
There are still people with good scientific degrees looking for work and not finding it.
Around here it’s not as much welfare as “disability”game for guys.
VOAD orgs help in a disaster, and when able body people DONT or WONT work, that is a national disaster IMHO.
Trust me. When they get hungry, they'll work.
MAKE THEM!
Sounds good but doesnt always apply. Certainly there are leaches but there are also good guys who just cant put 2 & 2 together. They want to work or are under-employed. The govt is all too good at applying one set of rules the most unthinking way. One size just doesnt fit all.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!
Hunger is a great motivator.
Cut the government teat and people will work for their money.
Why didn’t Obama do this?
“Around here it’s not as much welfare as “disability”game for guys.”
I can’t tell you how many people have suggested I apply for disability. Thing is, I can work, just not on somebody else’s schedule. Sometimes I feel great and other times I am unable to do much for two days in a row. Pain comes and goes.
I applied for a cash discount on a medical bill and had to fill out a long form. Because I was not on disability and had not applied for welfare, I was denied. I have talked to people who brag about their disability payments and there is nothing at all wrong with them. It annoys me no end.
Don’t make me laugh.
The trash talking of the America worker on Free Republic is a big turn off to lurkers and people trying to figure out what is going on. There are 90 million people not working they are all not dead beats. Get over yourselves. You sound like a bunch of old curmudgeon idiots.
According to a lot of Freepers if you aren’t working for what ever reason then you are dead beat degenerate unworthy of living.
In my opinion, given the limited information posted, you need to rethink your choice on not applying for disability. It is an insurance policy, not welfare, and will not be awarded unless you are truly disabled. Total disability is not required only partial and in your case you will probably have lower earning potential in the future. Applying now will lock in your benefit rate before it is diminished over time by lower paying employment that you are likely to receive. You can still work while receiving your insurance benefit, it’s not cheating the system if you play by the rules.
YMMV
