I think all those on unemployment and or welfare should be expected to work up to 30 hours a week for these benefits. Community service jobs, cleaning up trash etc.
Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. has offered his own $804 billion jobs plan that calls on the federal government to hire the nation’s 15 million unemployed Americans for jobs paying roughly $40,000 each, and bail out all the states and cities facing budget crises.
What an idiot.
There is a reason i don't respect politicians from Chicago.
Also glad Illinois is losing a congressional seat now we just have a few more to go and Chicago won't be able to influence Washington.

He's a traitor. Wants to scrap the Constitution? That's treason, in my book, if you're in congress.
I knew he wasn't very bright, but this is ridiculous.
The last thing that ctities and states need is a bailout.
He can't be serious.
Serious or not..it will make his constituents happy that he is "fighting for them" with his ideas. That's all it will take to get him re-elected by his voters. Promise them the world..
$40K X 14M unemployed = $560B. Obama's "jobs" plan is $495B and all it does is "support" the jobs of 1M or so union workers. And Jackson is the one getting ridiculed here???

But I would support hiring those that actually WANT to work, and use them to finish the projects that we have sitting out there.
High Speed Rail - sitting there, could use some of these free hands to get this done.
Road renovation
City renovation (Detroit anyone?)
Farming
etc etc etc. Basically, do the work that nobody else is willing to do right now.
I'm employed now, but would gladly work for the government if it meant a security clearance.
