    Default Unemployment benefits and Obamacare subsidies outpace median income

    The Party of LAZY FUCKS STRIKES AGAIN!

    Benefits amount to over $100,000 in three states for a family of four with two people not working

    There are numerous reasons that unemployed Americans aren't entering the workforce, including ongoing fears of COVID-19, disabilities such as "long COVID," and other care responsibilities. One factor that is contributing to the relatively low labor force participation rate is the combination of unemployment benefits and recently expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, according a new study by the nonprofit Committee to Unleash Prosperity.

    In 14 states, unemployment benefits and ACA subsidies for a family of four with two people not working amounts to an annualized equivalent of $80,000 a year in wages and benefits, the study found.

    hose benefits come out to over $100,000 in three states – Washington, Massachusetts, and New Jersey.

    "A key policy question these days that has befuddled federal lawmakers is why so many millions of Americans have not returned to the workplace in the post-Covid era. The U.S. is ‘missing’ more than three million workers of working age that could be working and were working prior to Covid but are not today," University of Chicago economics professor Casey Mulligan and Heritage Foundation research fellow EJ Antoni wrote in the study.

    "This study shows that one factor contributing to the dearth of workers is the generous benefits paid to families without workers."

    You rightys are too fucking stupid to understand that battling inflation with raising the interest rate will cut employment. You want low inflation and full employment. They are mutually exclusive.
    The fact is people want to work. When a good job becomes available, people line up for it. The Casino hiring should have taught you that much. When they are hiring the lines are long.

    He's also too fucking stupid to understand what the meaning of "unemployment benefits", who pays for them and how they are earned.

    And there you have the answer as to why Americans never went back to work after the Covid shutdown.
