or have to show up so many times a week to perform community service.

This I've been saying it for years, if you're on welfare because you "can't get a job" than you have to put in 40 hrs of volunteer work some where.

There's plenty of places that need volunteers, so it's not like there isn't work that needs doing out there.
Some places even reward volunteer time, with discounts or services. Aside from qualifying for a habitats for humanity house you're required to commit so many hours as volunteer time.

Thus is fucking retarded because at that point why should anybody get a job, all work should be 40 hour/week volunteer work and the government should just pay all volunteers. Obviously I'm oversimplifying but come on, that's like outsourcing. Volunteer work at that level would make an incentive to hold out for 'free' work and just let quality of the product drop and tell consumers to 'deal with it. See outsourcing and Walmart. See all the 'Mexicans took err jerbs' stuff. See the 30 hour work week that already exists as a loophole to get around government mandates and regulations.
