"And right now we face the decision as to whether the government is the best entity to determine how human labor resources should be allocated, or the private market. And I'm not going to pretend that the answer is either easy, or that I possess it. But if it involves keeping the human capital that is our nation occupied and productive, then we're on the right track."

I will be pretentious - I do know - markets are the best. Regulation should be such that facilitate markets - not define markets. The US has a growing population. We need a growth economy. Name one welfare state that hasa accomplished that. As we proceed down the current path the only answer will be a drastic reduction in military spending. No welfare state has maintained a large military.
