The democRATs are trying to destroy Americans' work ethic.

https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/an-unemployment-scheme-to-neutralize-americans-work-ethic?utm_source=theblaze-breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20231121ActiveTrending-Unemployment&utm_term=ACTIVE%20LIST%20-%207%20Day%20Engagement
U.S. senators led by John Fetterman, Elizabeth Warren, and Bernie Sanders would turn unemployment insurance into something closer to a universal basic income program — with predictably awful results.
Hard work has always defined our nation, fueling our rise as a global economic superpower. The American workforce used to be synonymous with American greatness.

But our workforce was devasted in 2020, when even the casual observer came to understand that the federal government couldn't pay people to stay idle and out of work forever.

So why are Democrats in Congress so eager to repeat the one of the most glaring pandemic-era policy blunders?

With a breathtaking disregard for lessons learned, Senators John Fetterman (D-Penn.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and others are seeking to expand state-run unemployment insurance programs, transitioning them into something more closely resembling a federally mandated universal basic income scheme than an emergency safety net program.

Their new plan would replace up to 100% of workers' wages for more than a year. That's not insurance — that's a new entitlement paid for by the employers taxed to fund the program.

Senate Bill 3140, the Unemployment Insurance Modernization and Recession Readiness Act, could be forgiven as merely naïve if it hadn't arrived so soon after pandemic policies cost taxpayers billions of dollars and encouraged millions of able-bodied Americans to exit the workforce even as employers struggled to find workers.

With the COVID experience so recent, the senators' plan is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the moral and economic dignity afforded by a job. It represents a final neutralizing of the once-great American work ethic and, with it, the civic virtues of independence, individual responsibility, and self-government.

It's clear that big-government types like Sanders and Warren find work antithetical to their aims of cradle-to-grave dependency. They've been trying to mainstream socialism for decades. Now they've turned their sights on the worker safety net program as a vehicle to destroy work itself.

Unemployment insurance has always been about providing limited, temporary assistance to workers who lose a job through no fault of their own. Funded by employer taxes, the largely state-run program has served as a rapid on-ramp to the workforce, ensuring the unemployed have some immediate support as they look for their next job.

The arrangement has worked well, allowing states to devise innovations that result in higher rates of re-employment, shorter periods of unemployment, and lower taxes on employers. But all of that would change under this new proposal.

They have been planning that since 1949. When they start it is the question.

DeSantis is saying Gavin Newscum is running a shadow campaign for president. He believes the democRATs might dump Jim Crow Joe's ass yet.

The secretary of state is driving the agenda in the Middle East, continuing to rearm Iran, prop up Palestinian terrorism, sabotage Israel's war effort, and deceive the American people.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is a despicable con artist who is organizing Arab and European countries, along with the United Nations, around the backs of our Congress and Israel to carve up the Jewish state and gift the Palestinians massive swaths of Israel's country, including Judea and Samaria. That is his response to the Palestinians' murderous slaughter of Israelis!

That stupid fucktard has a big problem tho. Palitrashians will always cock block their own best self interests in gaining their own country because their SOLE purpose, the ONLY reason they exist, is to be a continuing springboard for the extermination of jews and Israel. I say let him keep spinning his wheels.

The Bible tells us that Israel isnt going anywhere. That right there is why the forces of evil want it destroyed.

Aristotle makes it sound like Die-versity IS division.

In a court filing on Monday, Trump's lawyers suggested Mr. Pence may have provided information to the federal government to avoid charges for allegedly being in possession of classified materials after departing the White House. Earlier this year, a spokesman for Pence told media outlets that a "small number" of classified documents was found at his home in Indiana.

IF that's true it's further evidence of what an unanchored snake Pence is AND how biden can get away with murder just like Clinton!
