And with regard to work, I think work is something so necessary that the problems we have in our society are with the people who aren't getting the benefit of working.
And so I see work โ and I would mandate work for welfare programs.
If you're able-bodied, you would have to work.
I wouldn't give you a penny.
Everybody would have to work.
But I tell people I'm not in favor of that as punishment.
I can tell you that I've never been unhappy.
Maybe I'm lucky in the work I've had, but I've always wanted to go to work.
I've done every job that a kid growing up in the 70s can ever do.
But I was never unhappy to do it and always felt better.
If I sweat off 5 pounds, 10 pounds in the hot sun, I felt great.
Well, yeah, I didn't want to do them forever.
