America Needs to Implement Forced Labor

Prisoners already work for large companies. They don't make much and only certain prisoners get to or want to participate in these programs.
It would be too dangerous to let a lot of them out into the community. Even then, it has to be closely monitored. There is always a lot of smuggling back into the prison, if nothing else. They are great programs, though, and I've seen felons leave prison with full-time jobs thanks to work release programs.
 
It's true that for practical purposes you couldn't get most of the people on welfare to clean parks or kill roaches, because it would cost too much to take care of their kids and hire supervisors to train them and monitor them. I wasn't thinking of SLAVE labor, guys. I was thinking of something akin to a WPA where people worked in various projects in order to collect benefits. Probably cost more than it was worth, though.

Not really. After Welfare Reform was passed, it was a huge success.
 
Our infrastructure is crumbling aka bridges, roads, etc. We have huge,huge untapped sources of labor that is not being utilized....we let this potential labor pool subsist on the dole and thus they are a drain on our economy aka parasites.

We could force these people to work...cleaning up streets, city parks, fighting mosquitoes,rats and cockroaches. They could be used in so many ways..yet they sit idle....drawing food stamps and other gubmint checks and they moonlight shoplifting, selling drugs and other sorts of criminal behavior...these are the thugs hanging out on the street corner...riding the subways and busses threatening and intimidating citizens.

If the socialist paradise of Venezuela can do it...why can't we?

Socialism always end up with The People back in slave chains.


Yes, and socialism always leads to communism. The lazy love socialism because others will pay their way, which is where the left is taking us now. Eventually, that falls apart because one half gets tired of carrying the other half. That is when communism rears it's ugly head and the tyrants in government start telling people what they have to do.

Cuba went from a capitalistic dictatorship to Communism, by revolution.

Russia went from tsarist dictatorship to Communism, by revolution.

I see the point you are making. We can force people to work on the farms in Venezuela but we can't force people to work for a welfare check.
