utterly meaningless as a result of the 94 million Americans not in the labor force

Absolutely. The retired, the disabled and children just aren't pulling their weight. Not to mention the incarcerated. Surely a rich country like ours can come up with work programs for these people? Why are they sucking off the tit of the public?

Children can be employed in so many ways. Janitorial services in their schools, for example. People that are incarcerated can grow their own food. If non-violent, they can be leased out to private industry. The retired and disabled can always do phone support or phone sales.
