And there is the very crux of the problem. Unwilling. Period.


I certainly agree with this statement. In the 1930's and the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps) and the NRA (National Recovery Act), people picked up and moved to Nevada (Hoover Dam) and Washington (Grand Coulee Dam) and other places for work. Somehow, we've just gotten away from this survival mentality today.

It must be more than Unemployment Insurance and Welfare; they just do not pay enough to support someone, let alone a family.
