Two Democratic senators want to claw back some of the Republican tax law, to create jobs for people who have been unemployed for a long period of time.
Senators Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) introduced the Long-Term Unemployment Act__ on Thursday. The bill would create a federal program designed to generate jobs for people who have been out of work for at least six months.
The bill complements — and could eventually merge with — Wyden’s ELEVATE Act, which they say also aims to eliminate barriers to the labor market.
The senators’ plan would subsidize a job for up to one year for long-term unemployed workers — with the option to extend an additional year if the employee is working toward an additional credential or new skills.

Really? Who can’t find a job in this economy?
Retards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t think they’re going to be able to sell that in Trump’s economy.
Sounds great until you realize it’s used to fund their little projects. You know all that community organizing.

Gee, I’ve got an idea.... have these long term unemployed go and apply at the numerous locations where “Help Wanted” and “Hiring” signs are posted...they’re everywhere. And, Senators, it’s the UNLEASHED private enterprise economy creating these jobs, NOT GOVERNMENT!
The tax cuts—especially the corp tax cuts—gave us the booming economy and the jobs. If anything, we should have another round of tax cuts.
Destroy sustainable jobs for people who want to work to create unsustainable jobs for people who don’t want to work.
Sounds like a plan!
These people are for real as incredible as it seems.
What dolts. Nothing but show boats.
Insanity. We have record low unemployment.
Someone who does not want to work or cannot work due to an addiction to alcohol or drugs.
Damn! Y didn’t we think of that?
Drive around any business district. Tons of “Help Wanted” signs out there. Just another case of Democrats dishing out cash in exchange for votes.
These and many other senators are economic illiterates.
Based on these 2 clowns as the baseline, maybe AOC is not so much of an idiot as people think. She is most likely within one standard deviation of normal for a Democrat, especially one with a degree in economics.
Next the Senators will introduce a program to keep sidewalks from getting wet in the rain.
One of the Retards (Van Hollen) has to be one of my state’s senators.
As a Trumpster, I feel so disenfranchised living in Maryland.
It’s a shame we’re stuck with this moron through 2022.
Who? People in their late 50s or early 60s with medical problems. Employers won’t touch them.
The stupidity is strong in those two.
If you’ve been out of work for 6 months, you don’t want a job.
