Let those on Public Assistance Work

I suppose I don't understand why we don't let everyone work, everyone receiving social assistance of any kind.

We need not make ditch-diggers out of them, but each can offer something.

Everyone, or almost everyone. Some might be in a coma, but most anyone else can do something. If they can come in and do no more than organize paperwork, that's fine. If they are so sick they cannot come to the workplace, let them do something in their own homes. In the age of the Internet, a lot of work can be done at home. If their hands are so bent, they cannot operate a computer, give them do other work, perhaps asking them to read something in American history, and then give a verbal, over-the-phone report. I think it would be very seldom a person could not do something.  Doing to a little bit, whatever it is you are able to offer, is not being oppressed. It would keep minds active that otherwise might slip into inactivity. 

And, many who are disabled would actually appreciate being able to do something for what they receive.
