Let's look at this practically. Those job programs at least give people some form of employment. I'd rather have working people anyday than non-working.

But if the jobs are unnecessary and simply created to just employ people, then isn't that just taxpayers paying money to people that don't deserve it? If the jobs are necessary, then companies will fill them without needing subsidies from taxpayers.

Louisiana is already losing population BECAUSE of lack of jobs as it is. Cutting job programs will increase that number. And the lazy ones would simply get on welfare.

Let the people leave then. I'm not waiting around for this state to get its act together. Louisiana's government is too incompetent to bring enough tech companies here, so I'm out the door as soon as school is done. We should be encouraging people to seek better opportunities than to stay in a losing situation and leach off the government, whether it is through a useless job or welfare. Maybe people in Louisiana will finally wise up once all the talent leaves and the state collapses. There is no point throwing good money after bad. Until the system changes, it is futile. And most people won't realize that until the system fails completely. So let it happen.
