I put you in charge today. Make it work. Oh yeah, and make those who don't want to do anything and can work, work also. I mean, you will have jobs for every able bodied person, so everyone should be motivated to work right?

Being a caseworker has opened my eyes to some truths. Half of my clients legitmately and rightly receive their benefits. Most are able bodies men and women, who even when offered employment, because we have employment services here, turn it down. BUT! they all have the latest Iphone, and the women have the best looking nails I have ever seen.
