Should the government use tax payer dollars to operate Career Centers and provided subsidized work programs?
The Workforce Investment Act created Career Centers all over the country for the purpose of helping people find work. Subsidized work programs are also made available where the government pays a worker to work at a private employer who wouldn't hire the worker without the government subsidy. Supportive Services are also given to the worker to pay for transportation, clothing, and/or food. Do you agree that your taxed money should be spent for this? Why or why not?

- It's a good plan as long as it is temporary (say 1 year) and IF it is only for US Citizens. I
- Yes. Because it's better to help people find work than spend money on more police, prisons, and lawyers.
- If someone is so shiftless that the government has to pay for their work clothes and transportation to a job that the government found for them, that person needs to go hungry for a while, then they'll get more motivated to find a job on their own and get up and go to it.
- Yes, put together a five year plan and at the end of the 5 years slash Social programs to handicapped individuals only.
- I do not agree with that at all. I never agreed to adopt a poor person. Things just don't suddenly happen. That person's status as unemployed can be traced back to bad decisions he made regarding his education and acquisition of job skills a long time ago. If I make the correct decisions, why should I have to bail out those who did not?
- NO! We don't need to be a nanny state. Get off your ass and make things happen. Quit relying on the government for everything. That's my opinion.....and if it was everybodys, this country would be even better than it already is.
