“How can we get more low-income adults into jobs, so they can better support their families and move up the economic ladder? … One approach to achieving this goal is through supporting subsidized jobs.” – Rep. Dave Reichert (R-WA)

The Republicans are preparing an assault on the Dem's vulnerable flank of frustrated voters. Noah Smith's weekly bloomberg article shows more of same new inclusive tactic.
Subsidies to employers are a form of trickle down economics.
If you want to help the poor and the unemployed, then give money directly to the poor and the unemployed. Or directly create jobs without going through middle men.
So no, we all can't get behind subsidized jobs.
Besides, don't we already have a subsidized jobs program, so that Walmart can pay less than a living wage?
