Getting Everyone Off Government Assistance Would be a Task

   Getting everyone off government assistance cannot be done, it is not an achievable goal.*
   Wait, wait, I'm not done. There is an asterisk next to that, so let me finish. The thing is, if we are to get people off assistance, it means we must place them in jobs, and they must be jobs that pay the bills. Most every employer has limits on who they will hire. Many won't hire convicts. Many won't hire those with too busy of work histories. Many won't hire those who work too slow. Many won't hire those with bad hygiene. Many won't hire those with mental shortcomings.
   After all, there is such a thing as a hiring criteria, and every company has one.
   So, while most every person is capable of doing some kind of work, that is not the question. The question is not the employee, but the employer. I don't know a single employer that hires all comers.
   So, what do we do? I see three options. One, Let government create the jobs. Two, Appeal to the rich to create jobs that hire all takers. Get the rich to be philanthropists about this, opening companies just to provide jobs, not to turn profits. Three, Create private charities that provide the work.
   I like all three options. Maybe use them all. The federal government is the one I like the least, because of the national deficit. The federal government cannot be the only of the three options, as it should only create companies capable of turning profits so that we do not add to the national deficit.
