Warren Doubles Up Ocasio-Cortez Claim: Americans Working '2, 3 or 4 Jobs' to Make Ends Meet
FoxNews ^ | 7-20-18

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) echoed Democratic socialist candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's claim that Americans are working multiple jobs to make ends meet.

Warren dismissed the low unemployment numbers under President Trump, arguing during an MSNBC interview that people were either working inadequate minimum wage jobs or "two, three, or four jobs to try to pay the rent and keep food on the table."......

On "Fox & Friends," GOP senators Tim Scott (S.C.) and Joni Ernst (Iowa) disagreed with the comments from Warren and Ocasio-Cortez, calling it "theater."

Scott said there are nearly 150 million Americans in the workforce, with 7 or 8 million of those having more than one job.

"We have a 45-year high for small business optimism and the left is losing their mind," said Scott........

If true you can thank socialism for that.

Unless you’re happy to live in an east-german style flat and be subsidized, you have to work your tail off as the more you make, the more you are taxed, which is mostly for social programs.

They’re making ends meet because they have jobs.

What’s the problem?

and under Obammy, many of those Americans couldn’t find work to make ends meet

so these commies would prefer Americans to go hungry than have the opportunity to work

Solution!

Stop importing Mexico’s underclass so that people on the bottom rung aren’t competing with them in a race to the bottom

Wages go up

Don’t need > 1 job

All is good

If they are it is because Obama destroyed the full-time employment markets.

Oh well, Democrats/Socialists have to try something. They have absolutely nothing to offer the USA.

Now if only we could get everyone to work ONE job instead of collecting welfare.

People working multiple jobs is a direct result of the Obamacare employer mandate. If you work more than 30 hours somewhere, the employer has to provide healthcare, so employers have cut their staff back to part time. People work more than one job, they have to commute more, their hours are inconvenient, and they still don’t have health care.
