Not bad Informed, except I think what you suggested are modern day 'poor houses' & that was an epic fail before & would be even more costly than giving someone food stamps, so wouldn't people be upset about their taxes dollars going to fund these places too?
What about those to young for SS but, over 50? Should we pay to educate or train that particular group?

You are paying to train the over 50 people now......at least those interested.
Why in the world are you bring morality into a discussion concerning government? It is because stealing for your causes somehow makes it moral?
Oh brother, the "theft" argument.

This direct public subsidy is being given to offset the failures of an international corporate giant who shouldn’t be shifting part of its labor costs onto the American taxpayers.

Corporations are the biggest beneficiaries of welfare, from reasons stated by hawaiian by heart. When Walmart fails to provide a livable wage, taxpayers fund government assistance to Walmart employees.
Thanks for making it so clear that your perspective on government is devoid of moral foundation.
Thanks for making it clear that you have no idea that government has no moral foundation.
Do I need to bring up all the times government has been immoral? Ever hear of Jim Crow? You'll just ignore that too while your head is in the sand.

It is the employee's job to live within their means.
Perhaps that is a different job or, an additional job.
At one time in my life I worked three low paying jobs.
If those who are employed by corporations (who make huge profits) are eligible for benefits because their wages are not even a livable wage (paid by taxpayers) aren't those taxpayers getting angry at the wrong 'leeches' & isn't this wrong?
