Sen. Bernie Sanders is set to announce a plan that guarantees every American "Who wants or needs one" a lifetime government job paying at least $15 an hour, with health insurance and other perks.
A number of other allegedly moderate Democrats and prospective presidential candidates, including Kirsten Gillibrand and Cory Booker, favor a universal job guarantee, as well.
I mean, who doesn't want everyone to have a job? You don't possess a skill-set that enables you to find productive work? You don't want to learn a new trade? You don't want to attain a better education? You have no interest in moving to an area where your work might be in demand? You don't want to start your career with a lower wage even if the long-term prospects of doing so might be worthwhile? Don't worry.
The government's got an incentive-destroying job opportunity just for you.
"Job guarantee advocates," according to The Washington Post, make the absurd claim that Bernie's plan would drive up wages by significantly increasing competition for workers, "Ensuring that corporations have to offer more generous salaries and benefits if they want to keep their employees from working for the government."
Most of all, making government responsible for every American's job prospects would change the dynamics of governance, forever.
Most of them openly argue the universal job program would let them control wages and benefits in the private sector.
