Do you propose that people get no unemployment at all. That they just be thrown into homelessness?

Of course not. I propose that people WORK for their unemployment benefits.

Instead of getting "free money", they do government or community service work. They are allowed absolute freedom to pursue other work opportunities as necessary.

When they apply for unemployment the government has 10 days to find a job for them. If government fails to do so, they receive benefits for watching Oprah. But at any time they can be called up to perform government/community service work.

If people are needed to pick up paper on the highway, fine. Water plants at city hall? Fine. Move rockpiles down by the bridge? Fine.

You say, "Computer programmers shouldn't be underutilized moving rockpiles at the bridge"? Fine. Put them to work rewriting Medicare's 40-year old computer software. Accountants out of work? They can push paper down at the water works.

It doesn't matter. The important thing is people shouldn't be paid for doing nothing.
