If unemployment was kept to no more than 26 weeks, the unemployment rate would plummet

Statements like this are ignorant beyond belief.

Ever hear of the monthly JOLT report? Currently, there are 3 unemployed people for every single job opening. What you claim is an IMPOSSIBILITY!

Actually there is something to if people took jobs for less money, there would be more of them. Just as when the government mandates more employer costs, employers hire less, if talent were available for less money, more would be hired.
