>> Because of that experience, I think make work jobs are out. Yeah, a little variation on the Milton Friedman story. But the difficulty is to do it in a way that avoids make-work. At this point we are ill-equipped to solve that problem. In the United States we give away tons of crap. Idiotic "anti-poverty" programs, which do nothing but create more poverty, an entitlement culture, and lifetimes of dependency. That's not how you do this. Smart people have to think about the rational approaches to solving the problem then go about doing it. But this fiddle farting isn't going to get it.
