"...There are numerous reasons that unemployed Americans aren't entering the workforce, including ongoing fears of COVID-19, disabilities such as "long COVID," and other care responsibilities. One factor that is contributing to the relatively low labor force participation rate is the combination of unemployment benefits and recently expanded Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies, according a new study by the nonprofit Committee to Unleash Prosperity.
In 14 states, unemployment benefits and ACA subsidies for a family of four with two people not working amounts to an annualized equivalent of $80,000 a year in wages and benefits, the study found.
Those benefits come out to over $100,000 in three states – Washington, Massachusetts, and New Jersey....."

Think of the costs when illegal immigrants are allowed to tap into this.
OH @#$#!
Welfarism has always been a political tool of the corrupt to buy votes. When enough "voters" vote to take your house and savings, the first words of the Declaration of Independence will again ring loudly....
"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
It looks more and more likely as situations the article describes become the norm. They will come for your home and savings either by direct action or printing more money.
Americans aren’t entering the workforce.
That’s part of the democrats plan guess why we don’t have a border replacement plan in action flat line wages is their goal.
Once the numbers are right the perks will end the sting of reality arrives.
...you're a chump.
Unemployment benefits used to have a time limit. They would run out. Also, people were required to pursue jobs and prove the were doing so while on the dole. Has that changed?
Now the gov will turn 87,000 IRS agents on the people left who are working for a living.
It is clear to me that lawmakers are deliberately trying to destroy our economy. None of this makes any sense.
Much of it is not even unemployment. It might not necessarily be a fun activity for you but go talk to someone about what you could receive and you may have your mind blown. I found a few years ago if I “divorced” my wife, she quit her job, we had 2-3 kids, and I “rented” my house to her we would actually have more disposable income than both of us working with no kids.
Hawaii. Since I can remember it is a career be a single mom there. Get knocked up a couple times by a native Hawaiian and you are set for life. I know women there who have NEVER had a job but live comfortably on the taxpayer teet. Each kid gets brings in more welfare. The family gets free housing, medical care,and food. And the sperm donor just lives at any one of his baby mama’s welfare house or with his own mom who did the same thing. It is disgusting.
Our Government is run by idiots and/or traitors.
Absolutely insane!
Maybe if we offshore the rest of whats left of our manufacturing industry it will help

Wait until the illegals take their jobs and then the perks run out going to see people doing the going postal act again.
If a plan looks to good to be true guess what it is.
I suspect economic crises will come first, and the politicians will run and hide. It's happened before.
