People who are unemployed for a certain period of time should be offered a public sector job, even if it's something like a binman. If the person then turns it down, his or her unemployment benefits should be removed, or at least substantially reduced. There needs to be a balance between compassion for those who can't work, and encouraging those who don't want to.
