The two major activities of the Department of Labor are supporting unions regardless of merit, and attacking businesses regardless of merit. The 3rd and 4th activities are forcing employers to post silly notices and generating paperwork.
Giving people their own money back is not "spending". Furthermore, it tends to boost economic activity to a much greater extent than "new social services".
Put them on farms, where there's always work to be done. Drugs are less of a problem for people doing hard physical labor 16 hours a day.
Taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who manifestly don't deserve it has always been wrong, and always will be. Furthermore, it sets a bad example; more people will be tempted to live without working.
I have a house, a new car, we eat delicious healthy meals (almost) every night. I don't actually need anymore money to live comfortably.
Judging by the number of whiners on slashdot complaining about how unfair life is for them and others, there are many people whose lives would be significantly better if welfare and other such programs weren't draining from their income.
Being disabled, and being "on disability", are two different things. Disability fraud is widespread, and the rate of those caught (probably a small fraction of those actually committing fraud) is 15% to 25%. After 2 years, they qualify for medicare.
Beneficiaries of Disability have already paid for their benefits
Yes, in the sense that someone who pays for insurance, benefits when the insurance pays off. They can receive far less than they paid in, or far more.
In the economic realm, justice is "get what you pay for, and pay for what you get."
Your scheme is deeply unjust. Fully implementing it would destroy civilization faster than global nuclear war.
As far as you personally are concerned, Anonymous Coward, you want to live without deserving to live. I wish you the fate you deserve.
Young employees and these pollsters are both clueless.
You've been through 4 years of college and now you're doing what you studied for, what you presumably intended your life to be, and you want to be promoted out of what you like and what you're competent at? WTF?
What makes jobs pleasant are enough money to make finances not a problem in your life and decent management. Decent management means not jerking you around or playing mind games, insulating you from corporate irrelevancies and sticking up for you Decent management clears a pathway for you to do your job, provides guidance as required (but not more), and dispenses attaboys.
Decent management is consistent, doesn't lead you into dead-end projects that discard a year of your work. Decent management doesn't make false promises or bumble into situations that require you to work overtime for months, particularly if it's unpaid.
In my lifetime, the obvious example of repurposing a charitable organization is the March of Dimes. Polio was cured, so after a mad scramble they chose birth defects, which has the advantage that it will probably never be cured.
Germany was great during Hitler if you were a standard, run of the mill German.
Nazism made worse the conditions caused by the Treaty of Versailles, as any unfree economic system is bound to do. Hitler spending resources on armament instead of allowing a consumer economy to develop hurt everyone except party leaders and those in high places in certain industries, such as Krupp.
The longer a repressive regime stays in power and the bigger it becomes, the smaller is the portion of people whose condition can be properly described as "great". Eventually, the suppression of progress leaves nobody untouched by the damage, nobody better off than they would be with freedom.
Don't conflate freedom of speech with freedom of expression. Freedom of speech includes things like saying the President belongs in solitary confinement. Freedom of expression includes things like masturbating on a playground in front of a group of nuns and kindergarteners. One is protected by the U.S. Constitution, the other is not.
World War II is 70 years gone, and any Nazi active in that war is over 85 years old. Your libel of the bulk of the German population is completely without merit.

The idea of stealing land from nomads is oxymoronic.
Your level of knowledge is shown by your claim that Alaska is not a part of the continental US.
Giving people their own money back is not "spending". Furthermore, it tends to boost economic activity to a much greater extent than "new social services".
The past tense of pay is paid.
Hawaii was not part of the US until 1898, so Hawaiians don't deserve any.

Stop pushing this abhorrent fraud. You are undercutting industrial civilization.
This has gone too far. If you're making life-size latex love dolls, say so.

Time to move on, buster. This hoax is boring. Find a job you're competent at.
Not enough. We need UHD video emoji, uncompressed for maximum fidelity. Multiple fibers to every home to handle the bandwidth.

See, that's why we need a precisely defined sarcasm emoji. I suggest a fist with one finger raised.
Sounds like cats fighting to me.
If emojis are supposed to convey emotion, hopefully in a standardized fashion, what's the emoji for sarcasm, universally agreed to and understood?
Congrats, you've just identified yourself as a nutcase.
And a potential murderer.
Hate can be promoted by speech, in fact it's difficult to create the sort of widespread hatred that Hitler did without speech.
