And what wuf seems to be saying is that in times like these, where relatively large chunks of able bodied people who want to work cannot find work, the gov't should step in and provide work. This would stimulate the economy and as the economy recovered better jobs would become available and the people employed in right-to-work jobs would migrate to these new better jobs.

Monty, you seem to be responding to this with an anti-welfare attitude, yet this wouldn't be welfare... people would be working... it would actually take a lot of strain off of the welfare safety nets we have in place.
