But does that really work this idea of unemployed will work?
If a job doesn't pay a living wage (and minimum wage isn't enough to live on, but too much to die on) you still end up subsidizing via social housing, or end up with immigrants bunged together 12 in a 4 people house. Their kids go to school, get a better job and a new cycle of immigrant cheap labor begins.
Perhaps our food is too cheap or perhaps universal wage, mad as it sounds, may be a better bet.
