Right now, the latest data shows that we have over 10 million job openings in the U.S. but only 5.7 million unemployed workers. The Chamber of Commerce says that employers added 4.5 million jobs in 2022 but at the same time, millions of U.S. workers have left the labor force with nearly three million fewer Americans participating in the labor force today compared to February 2020. So there are too many jobs without people to fill them. He needs to get his facts right?

[@GreggWalken-xd3qv]

​@@ReeCooks14579We will have high unemployment as long as the gov makes it easy by continuing with programs like ssi and food stamps given to the slackers.

[@ReeCooks14579]

@@GreggWalken-xd3qv SSI provides crucial assistance to disabled, blind, or elderly individuals with limited income and resources. The loss of this financial assistance could lead to an increase in poverty rates among these populations, potentially resulting in homelessness, inadequate nutrition, and limited access to essential medical services. If food stamps, were eliminated, it would have severe consequences for individuals and families who depend on this assistance for access to nutritious food. Without food stamps, vulnerable households with limited income would face difficulty in affording an adequate and consistent food supply. This could lead to higher levels of malnutrition, hunger, and negative impacts on physical and mental health. I do agree with you that people depend too much on government assistance. We need to find ways to empower individuals and promote self-sufficiency so they can take care of themselves.

There are 1.9 jobs for every single American? Okay, let's do some simple math: As of the 2020 Census, there are approximately 330 million people living in the United States. By Deb Haaland's numbers, that means there are approximately 627 million jobs (330 x 1.9) in the United States. That is one vary insane claim, and I would LOVE to see her numbers on that!!!

[@larrybruce4856]

Are there still 1.9 jobs according to Deb Haaland's calculations when you figure in the millions of illegal immigrants flooding our borders that need jobs to survive or are the American taxpayers expected to provide them food stamps, free education, free medical, transportation, and housing for eternity ???

[@QemeH]

To be fair, she probably meant 1.9 jobs for every American who is _able_ to work (so, no children, no seniors, no long-term sick or disabled people, etc.). I still doubt the figure, but it’s much more reasonable than it seems, especially if you keep in mind that just because the 1.9 jobs exist doesn’t mean the 1 American is qualified for them. That is why Hawley is so insistent on „blue collar workers“, because most of those 1.9 jobs will need an education that is not held and/or attainable for the workforce over 40.

I'm a landman in California O&G. The reason the government is forcing the tax payers for plugging the wells in California is because with all of the regulation the regulations were never enforced, thus the operators walked away from the wells and now the tax payers get to pay for the plugging and abandonment of those wells. It's nothing less than total incompetence with State regulators.

@@PAMELAPORTER-ci7mr You simply need a balance of energy resources , upgrade our infrastructure , open our resources back up , instead of feeding China and you can’t just turn off all of our existing resources and stop subsided to the extent we do , their isn’t one part of renewable that can exist without some other form of existing energy . Warren Buffet said it best , wind and solar would be worthless and not make money without the tax payers subsides . Guess what he owns the largest energy company in Iowa and that company went on record to state they hadn’t invested one penny of theirs for renewable energy , but they have no issue increasing the cost of energy . Ask yourself this , if they want to diminish the burden on our energy grid and cut back on C02 . Why not equip each house , business with wind and or solar in lieu of building these huge farms that take up and use so such a have a huge impact on our green space ?
