Working for Public Benefits… A Radical Idea?
People receiving extended unemployment benefits should be required to provide a public service while getting public assistance, so says Texas' Workforce Commission chairman Tom Pauken. Predictably, critics, such as the Texas AFL-CIO, have blasted the idea. In a...
