Here in Wisconsin, we're willing to help people who are down and out, but public assistance should be a trampoline, not a hammer. Today, I'm happy to report that We now require adults and public assistants who are able to work and who do not have children at home to be employed or enrolled in our job training programs. Looking for work at least five times a week and being able to pass a drug test. If someone fails the test, we help them with rehabilitation so they can get healthy again and be ready to enter the workforce. (47:44–47:54)
