Poverty

If a person is laid off, the government should immediately hire that person and give them a job. The federal government actually has been slashed from thirty years ago. We could easily assimilate the unemployed into the federal government working at whatever the folks are good at. It would keep the economy flowing without disrupting the cash flow that happens when the employees are laid off. Sure some folks may even decide to make the federal government work a career but most will find something else later on. It really would work.....however, probably too bold for most.
