INCENTIVIZING GROUPS

Robert Reich has pointed out a paradox that to incentivize the poor Republicans feel you have to give them less money whereas to incentivize the wealthy you have to give them more money.  I keep hearing that there are on average three applicants for every job.  It is for this reason that I support completing the double fence on our southern border with Mexico.  The proposal would add 19,000 Civil Service jobs, which while not great in pay would be better than unemployment.  Also the fence would provide temporary jobs in the construction industry.  So I support the proposal as a jobs program that Republicans seem willing to accept.  Though this is only a step above hiring people to dig holes during the day and another group to fill them at night, it would provide some jobs.  Though I personally think that it would be better to spend the money on improving our infrastructure (roads, bridges and the like),  it is better than nothing.
