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 Wydens 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.

Democrats are truly dumb #s
If we didn’t have all these illegals sucking our blood, we could do this easily.
I dont believe we should have income taxes at all.
Should be a national retail sales tax, paid once at the final sale.
That would save BILLIONS in tax prep costs. Eliminate most of the IRS besides.
...because it’s so hard to get a job now days.
fine by me.
What if the employer was Government?
How would an employer know they have a medical problem?
Those tax cuts didn’t exist for a very very long time prior to Trump and somehow this program only comes up now...hmmm
The stupid is strong with them.
OMG there is NO ONE today that cant find a job, there are over a million jobs that we cant seem to fill!!! There is a Circle K next to my house they have had a sign in there window for full time positions ALL SHIFTS starting $16.00 an hour I have NEVER seen this store BEGGING for help NEVER!!! This job also comes with FULL benefits, GIVE ME A DAMN BREAK that anyone has long term unemployment!!! These ASSHATS dont want to work SCREW THEM!!!!
...especially with Y chromosomes, melanin deficiency, and anglo monoliguality.
If you are unemployed for a long time, perhaps you should either 1) set your sights a bit lower and take what's available to you or 2) retrain / retool yourself for new work.
Yep.
Every construction company in North Idaho could immediately put ten more people to work. They simply cannot find people. Or, more correctly, hard working people who don’t quit after two weeks because the work is too hard.
How many people have been unemployed longer than six months with a 3.6 percent unemployment rate?
“Long Term Unemployment Act”
That’s modern liberalism for ya.
The key question is why do democrats like taking money from those that earn it and give to those that dont. Gosh I hate those peop!e
Not only that, the tax receipts have increased (more taxpayers = more tax revenue with lower tax rates) - so they want less revenue in order to pay for a new program?
