I do understand that many on the Left and most MMT'ers would prefer a Federal Job Guarantee system where the government would offer up public sector jobs at livable wage levels and robust benefits.

My main issue is that an FJG on its own plays a bit too much into the conservative "Puritan work ethic", ignoring the issues of disabled and other marginalized people who can't do manual labor. It can also be abused into a political machine of corruption.
