For years, ReBUBBAlicans have said that the way for workers to cope as the rich get richer by moving jobs overseas is to go back to school and/or retrain for jobs in "the new economy". Apparently, that is just so much right wing bullshit. Driving down wages only benefits rich ReBUBBAlicans.
The Republican solution to helping the long-term unemployed isn’t to make it easier for them to survive if they go back to school or enroll in a job training program. The point of Speaker Ryan’s cuts is to discourage people from going back to school or taking part in job training programs. Financial aid and job training programs have also been frequent budget cut targets for Congressional Republicans.
Ryan loves to talk in vague terms about poverty, but what his anti-poverty program is really about is the forcing down of wages by making employees take minimum wage jobs that they can’t survive on. The purpose of cutting food stamps for those who are trying to better themselves is to drive down wages.
