[quote=scaredycat]im not saying welfare is bad. just that after a certain point, it’s not unemployment. i dont see how that stimulates growth however, seems like it just provides survival.[/quote]

Consider it a private property protection program cheaper than new police or better yet, stimulus for the food industry.

that seems reasonable. kinda like it’s cheaper to build schools than prisons, it’s better to pay “Unemployment” in perpetuity than to imprison.

didnt england used to have the “dole”…i kinda remember college students in the 80’s visiting and talking about “going on t he dole” while on summer break, lots of free money around for no work. it sounds great. there is too much meaningless work being done in this country anyway. maybe the country needs to experiment with more leisure. just make it permanent so people wont be stressed out about it ending, which would reduce the utility of the leisure.

i mean, what really is the harm? we have lot sof food, lots of places to stay. let people hang out. i guess eventually you could argue the whole country would just be hanging out, but i doubt it. people would stillw ant to do better than the dole. but a lot of people wont be able to …so let people rent cheap places, hang out, grow vegetables, drink coffee all day and discuss art and politics, read books, stare at the clouds, do yoga. change the word “unemployment” though, because this new regime should not be relatedin any way to employment. the word unemployment is bad, since it implies a lack, this is to say, an absence of employment. If one is unemployed, then the term implies that you should go get employed and stop being void of employment….this new situation should be disconnected from employment. “anti-employment” is too charged, and will still remind people that they are without employment.

welfare is too pejorative.

how about “freedom payments”?

the dole?

“national extended vacation time”.

“Hang out pay”?

this paradigm change, coupled with legalized marijuana this fall in california, has the potential to usher in a golden era of hanging out in the USA. I gotta go to work right now though.
