What was his context? Would be interesting to see what was said before and after that comment.
Sure would be accurate while welfare type benefits currently are better than start-up, low skills type jobs can afford to pay in wages.
Not to mention the government advertising to be sure anyone remotely eligible for welfare gets the message.
Pretty sad when people don't have to get even a basic education and can live at the least, adequately, on 'help' from the government.
