Have you ever thought to yourself "there should be a law about that?" What are some things you'd put in a bill to your state legislature about?I'm not sure how it works out, but my most brilliant idea so far is requiring community service for those who accept unemployment/TANF benefits/foodstamps. Hopefully to help mitigate the cost of paying for certain state functions. Instead of paying people to pick up trash, why not have those who are able bodied and unemployed pick up trash until they find a job? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! This is really not a good idea because then all the people who work at picking up trash will be unemployed and it will drive wages down so that you have more "working poor" Also, where do you draw the line? Why just picking up trash? Why not create actual paying jobs for the people to do things that benefit society? IMHO anyway! My mom thinks any parent with a child enrolled in a public school should have to volunteer 8hrs of their time per year to school functions.This is a good idea in theory. I particularly like it because my child is no longer school aged!I'm blanking out on the rest. I'm like, THE worst brainstormer ever so any help would be awesome... plus this could make for some interesting conversation
