We want to change the way we help unemployed people find jobs. We want to be faster and more goal oriented.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody wants to help folks out. But we've got a system where you can stay on unemployment for an awfully long time. And I think we need to create a system of decreasing benefits over time to encourage you to get a job.
We want to encourage those who are able to work, no question.
If there's unemployment, having the government help reduce that unemployment, increase employment directly is a pretty good idea. It's not driving out competition; it's not crowding out.
We need more good jobs that reward hard work with rising wages, dignity, and a ladder to a better life.
We obviously would like to get unemployment as low as we possibly can.
We know there are a lot of people in the unemployment pool that do not match up in their skill set for what jobs are going to be created, and that's an area we've got to keep pressing on.
We have to create jobs but also make sure that those who are looking for work aren't just left without any assistance whatsoever.
The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs.
What this country needs is more unemployed politicians.
We just want to have great people working for us.
