I don't believe the A.C.L.U. represents the true intent of the Constitution. I don't believe the National Education Association wants...

Alle brauchen Arbeit – viele finden keine. Man kann das für ein soziales Problem halten und sich vorstellen, „Beschäftigungsförderung" wäre die passende Antwort, mit staatlichen Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahmen und einer Senkung der Lohnnebenkosten, mit der „Schaffung von neuen Arbeitsplätzen" durch Teilzeit- und Leiharbeit, oder wie auch immer.
