    Economic illiteracy condemns us to well-intentioned, big-hearted, but small-brained responses to real problems.

    Millions of people are out of work. We all have sympathy for those who are unemployed and I believe it is our moral obligation as a society to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves.

    The first thing we have to do is help the unemployed secure jobs. That is why I went to Detroit last week, to present a blueprint for individual liberties and free markets. The "Economic Freedom Zones Act of 2013" is merely one idea that will aid cities where unemployment is more than one and a half times the national average.

    Caring only counts when government bureaucrats do it for you ...

    the unemployed people aren't blowing their checks helping out the homeless either, so i guess they are uncaring too. i mean, if you really cared, you can get by with 3 dollars a day eating junk and donating the rest to the homeless, c'mon, you so uncaring.
