RE: Because taxpayers are paying a good number of people not to work or to help them exist underemployed, that’s why.
So, you are in effect saying that the low unemployment rate under Trump’s policies are not really producing the conditions that create jobs?
I look forward to you posting something similar every time someone posts a thread touting how historically low unemployment is under this administration.

Everyone reading this, excepting yourself, knows that the unemployment figures have been worth doggie dirt since Clinton’s second term. Someone unemployed goes on SSA for “nervousness”? No longer unemployed. Someone loses a 50k/yr factory job and now works in retail for 12.75/hr? Fully employed. College kid graduated and living in m+p’s basement who cant find a job? Doesn’t count (of course, these days, the kid must have a BA in Drama or is just lazy). And there is a lot of evidence that the underground economy has mushroomed.
They unemployment figures ARE, however, useful for comparative purposes and there is zero doubt that these times are infinitely better (in red states, anyway) than they were under the unnamed previous WH occupant.
