Un-Convention-al Coverage: Mike Huckabee

[Smiley and West]

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a speaker at the 2012 Republican National Convention and 2008 candidate for president, talks about his party's position on poverty and religion.

Gosh, if only more of the Republicans were like Governor Mike Huckabee.

There are a lot of folks who don't like the idea of people sitting at home,

watching TV while collecting their unemployment & welfare checks.

So, instead of have a right to unemployment and welfare,

let's have a right to a job.

The Job Corps is a federal program that trains people for in-demand jobs

in about 1-2 years.

BUT, it's limited to 18-22 year olds with economic restrictions.

SOLUTION:  Job Corps for ALL (Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats should

embrace this because people work instead of being on the dole.)

Medical Care SOLUTION:  Medicare for ALL

(Note that Medicare does have a private insurance component for those who prefer

private, for-profit insurance to the traditional Medicare coverage, so Republicans

and Blue Dog Democrats should embrace this because I have a CHOICE between

private or government insurance.)

So simple and sound,

Job Corps & Medicare for ALL.
