Yes, you're right, that's what the various schemes in the eighties did here, when we had over three million unemployed, the figures were played about with.
I didn't say that at all. Please try to stop confusing this with schemes in the eighties. They're not the same.

It's not included as a job when you're on the scheme, as you still recieve benefits. Even if it was, the scheme is once only, so over 10 years the statistics are pretty clear. It works.
