More presumptions based on flawed analyses of macro economic
causes. Rather than being concerned with the dire
consequences of putting some on the dole, address the
problem by putting all on the dole with the consequence of
increasing standards of living while reducing the nominal
level of wages with its ingerent increase in the demand for
;abor. This method even provides rational measure -- the
growth rate of GNP -- to determine the optimum amount of the
dole.
