Description[?]:
| Citizens of Jakinia want accountability in the welfare department. Many workers should be able to find new jobs quickly . We do not agreed that the guarantee of a minimum income should not be abolished, but that for accountability, a flexible time line should be set for the unemployed. However, this time line should in fact be rigid after a couple months. It may be harsh, but it follows a law of nature, if you don't work, you don't get money, and if you don't get money, you don't get food, water, and other necessities, and then you die. If people aren't motivated, the statement we previously stated will in fact happen. No motivation equals no new job. People with no motivation don't deserve government money, no we'll restate that, hard-working taxpayer money, not government money. This policy is a better compromise then the recent SLP welfare bill. This bill addresses article 2 of the SLP welfare bill. |
