If the choice was starve or work on public projects, many of today's lazy would be working. Many would work for private employers in jobs they now believe to be beneath them. It would have great boosting effect on the economy, just like Welfare reform in the nineties did.

But with one political party destroying America for votes, and those voters accepting the payoffs, it seems we are doomed.
