Re: classic "schmuck bait"
the rocket makers would hire the people who WERE getting freebies from gummint,
No they will not. At least in the USA. It takes at least a technical college if not an engineering degree to work in a modern industry especially something high tech like rocketry. There is no way in hell someone who needs to scrape off the dole in USA to make the cut and the government will never ever sponsor education so that he does not need to be on the dole.
This is one of the reasons why all of Trump "initiatives" are bound to fail. You cannot re-create industry without an educated workforce in this day and age. USA is not Germany where you have to put some effort not to end up with a tech college degree and where the likes of BMW, VW, Bosch and Mercedes are in cahoots with the government to get an educated workforce. USA is a country where in order to get the equivalent education you need mom and dad to sponsor the sprog to the tune of around 80k at which point the sprog goes for liberal arts instead of a technical degree. Compared to that in Germany it is free for person (and an awesome payback for the industry which directly or indirectly sponsors that).
