"America can't support full employment, but America can afford to house, clothe, and feed all of its unemployed residents?"

Most other developed, industrialized countries do. It's all about government, and the choices we make. We could do it for much less than the cost of the Iraq war.

Don't get me wrong - I think able bodied people should work, even if it's picking up trash by the roadside in a WPA-like program. Some would choose not to.

I think raising the minimum wage would help tremendously. There's not a lot of incentive to work when you know you'll STILL be poor.
