THE REAL CAUSE OF UNEMPLOYMENT

The real reason we have unemployment in this country is that we have too many people in prisons who are being forced into doing work to pay for their victims and restitution.  The work they are doing takes away jobs from Americans.  Representative Bill Huizenga, R-Mich., is sponsoring a bill which would reign in the ability to take work from private companies.  

So, it would naturally follow, according to this reasoning, that if we start releasing prisoners, unemployment will go down. 

Is this the kind of thinking we want from our Representatives in Congress?  The prisoners are to blame for unemployment?
