The Jobs Guarantee is a Lie

The jobs guarantee being pushed by politicians; like U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-New Jersey), is a lie.
To explain, the jobs guarantee premise is the government will give everybody a “high-paying job with benefits;” if the market cannot supply “full employment.” That is a lie because the jobs will be nothing but government handouts.
In reality, the guarantee jobs are nothing but welfare disguised as employment. The idea is to market the welfare state to people uncomfortable with the concept of welfare.
