My father, as a young man, forked manure from barns for $1.00 per day during the 1930′s, rather than endure the embarrassment of “shovel-leaning” with a WPA “road-building” crew. Therein lies the difference between then and now: Most of the working poor in the Great Depression still retained their dignity and considered ANY honest job superior to the shame of workfare. Nowadays our youth seem to suffer little indignity in stooping to slop the swill at the welfare trough. Work? Why? If we wanted work we wouldn’t have voted for Obama!
