How Governments Solve the Unemployment Problem

How Governments Solve the Unemployment Problem I found this yesterday it is across the pond in Europe: Council helps jobless women find a rich man to keep them. I have a hard time believing this is really true, so if it is a hoax, forgive me for spending time on it.  If it isnt they are giving women make-overs (because thats how you win a rich man, by looking hot), they are hoping to save welfare payments equal to €400,000 by marrying off 70 jobless, single women (who need make-overs) they are investing €1,400 (about $2k USD) into each women which includes image make-overs as well as social skills and presentation They will get the women registered at a local marriage bureau Crazy, isnt it?  And you thought the government was getting involved enough in the unemployment scene! Less than 10 women have signed up so far in the article the councils plan is even called a scheme (I think that is a translation thing, though).  Locals are calling it unethical.  Heres the article I read. Okay, that was (hopefully) good for a laugh, but let me pose to you: what role should YOUR government play in unemployment?  I wrote about this in the following posts (one for Republicans, one for Democrats), and Mike Arrington wrote something similar (for businesses) here.
