Newt’s ideas about unemployment & training pgms has some pretty big holes in it. In many instances it’s not a matter of not having skills, it’s a matter of no jobs. Even people with up-to-date technical knowledge are having trouble finding jobs.
Which is why Cain goes back to having to grow the economy
Our long time neighbor bought a new house. She decided to rent the one by us out under Section 8. It’s a 3 bedroom and would rent for about $1000/mo. It is being rented to a young single mom with 1 child.... a 3 bedroom for 2 people. The young lady works part time at a fast food joint. She gets every benefit there is! Enough is enough.
Newt must have read some of my previous posts on FR ;)
If they’re young and able bodied they go to school on a pell grant. She’d qualify for a pell grant anyway. Give them 6 months after they’re done with school and no more freebies. Why in the h e double hockey sticks are the taxpayers footing such a big rent bill when there are cheaper places in town? I think it is part of the socialist agenda to make everyone equal.
It is garbage, baloney, crapola, whatever word you want to call it. If you have renters near you, go to your county public records and find out who the property owner is. Betcha it’s a realtor who is renting section 8. Some are getting fat off our backs and it’s high time it stopped!!!
That's not the people they were specifically addressin...more those who are simply riding out the weeks of unemployment... I've seen these people...shopping, vacationing, fixing up their houses, and many doing nothing at all. I was unemployed and it's not an easy place to be...there are no days off..it's on your mind 24/7...you're either thinking about the next place your going to applu...tweeking resumes'...cold calling places...and that's seven days a week.
Like my husband who has a master’s in computer science (with updated software skills) and many decades of experience.
