Although the GOP are on the right track and it's time to pay the piper or in this case pay off the national debt or else America will find itself depleted like that of Venezuela soon, the GOP seems to be missing a very big solution to making this happen.

One might wonder why so many are out of work these days given the fact everywhere one looks there are help wanted signs in the window or on billboard signs.

Well, one of the biggest problems, is that nowadays just about everyone is demanding FBI fingerprinted back ground checks otherwise known as level 2. Many people are boxed in and unable to get a job due to this. Some with only one conviction in their past as far back as fifty years ago which is completely idiotic. How many in society has never committed some type of crime? Just because they weren't caught, doesn't mean they were innocent...it just means they were luckier than the guy handcuffed and dragged off to jail.

And the real travesty is many had plea bargained and agreed to plea guilty in exchange for having their records sealed and expunged claiming they would never have to worry because it would never show up when filling out an application which may have been the case years ago but not today with level 2 FBI fingerprinting.

So, either they should be allowed to have their records expunged from FBI records as well or they should at the very least be able to go before a judge to let him rule whether to destroy the record altogether.

So, if the GOP and others want people back in the work force and off of welfare, they should offer people a second chance in cases where the person wasn't a career criminal. Possibly after 10 years remove it from their FBI record but keep it buried in a file to be seen ONLY if or when the person commits another crime.

Therefore, it would be a WIN WIN WIN because it would get people back to work supporting themselves, repair their reputations to help make them feel like worthwhile contributing members of society again, while also saving on entitlements as well.

I can get on board with what the OP is proposing. Let them go before a judge on a case by case basis.
