can you think of any work that could be done if it could be done for free? I can think of 100s of examples, anything from picking up litter on the side of the highway, to helping elderly cook dinner, etc...
why free you ask? cause there is substantial % of population living off government $$ already and not doing shit, sending them to do some productive work would cost nothing extra...

The problem with putting people who are on welfare to work it that it makes it harder for them to then get off of welfare. I'm not saying they should just be allowed to lay around and do nothing, but if you make someone work 40 hours a week to get their welfare, they won't have time to go to school or get another job (or at least they will have a lot less time to do so) and it will cause them stay on the welfare, working the shitty jobs forever.
I say people on welfare should be forced to get some kind of training or education that will help them get a decent job while they are on welfare. I would rather pay once to get them some kind of training so they can go out and get a good job then pay for them to stay in the system for 20 years.
