Trump Proposes That The Long Term Unemployed Can Work As "Human Guide Dogs"

Donald Trump has controversially proposed that people who have been unemployed and in receipt of state benefits for 4 years or more should work as guides for the blind.

"People claim they can't find a job" he stated "I say if a dog can find a job, and you can't find a job, then you deserve to do the dog's job" Trump stated in a press release last night.

He stated that it made "economic sense" that able bodied Americans should spend a minimum of four hours a day, guiding the blind and helping with such everyday tasks as grocery shopping, getting to school or simply going on a date.

Mr Trump went onto say;

"The average cost of training a seeing-eye dog (guide dog) is $42,000, as well as $8,000 per year on food an veterinary bills, if labradors could be replaced by those on benefits, this would represent millions in savings to the exchequer"

It is not clear yet as to wether the proposed "Guide People" will have to wear leashes or not.
