Starve the unemployed, Bachmann says

regroce
“(I)f anyone will not work, neither should he eat,” Bachmann said.

What this Republican presidential candidate is apparently overlooking, however, is that the number of job openings in the country is far, far less than the number of unemployed.

According to the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 3.1 million job openings in the country.

The number of unemployed, though, is 13.9 million, says BLS. That’s more than four times greater than the number of jobs available.

Add in the fact that a majority of those 13.9 million Americans (52 percent) are not receiving any unemployment benefits whatsoever, and it stands apparent that Bachmann’s goal is already underway: they have no money to buy food to begin with.
