Donald Trumpās administration is threatening to withdraw federal funding for unemployment assistance in all 50 states as part of the presidentās nationwide campaign against āfraudā in government spending.
In a letter to the governors of 53 states and territories, acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling warned that the federal government would use āevery available toolā to combat āwaste, fraud and abuseā within state-run unemployment insurance programs, including āwithholding administrative funds from statesā for the first time in history.
There is no single national program for unemployment support, though the federal government partners with state agencies to support temporary financial assistance to out-of-work Americans. Nearly 2 million people are currently receiving those benefits, while roughly 229,000 people are filing initial jobless claims every week, according to the Labor Department.


Currently on unemployment thanks to the tech industry. I wonder what my trump loving family members will think when I bring this up the next time they ask me how the job hunt is going.
Knowing Trump fans, theyāre going to say itās a good thing, itāll make you get up and get a job sooner rather than laying around āwasting time on the government dimeā. Cause they all probably believe itās very easy to get another job.
Was going to say the same thing. Besides, if they know you donāt support PEDOnald, theyāll take it as your comeuppance.
Iāve had a conservative in-law tell me that maybe I should not be getting by financially, and that was implied as part of the problem under Biden - that I was doing okay. Because I went to college, etc. No, I should be doing less well and that would mean things were properly balanced or something. That somehow PEDOnald didnāt āgetā people like me the first time around and somehow harmed me and others like me (meaning, again, someone who went to college) - and maybe not only financially and that hopefully that would be different in his second term.
Itās just as fucked as it sounds. Did this in-law think it through and realize it would harm not only my kids, but his direct blood relative? If he did, he didnāt give a fuck, apparently.
If you arenāt conservative and donāt support Donvict, you deserve to suffer, in their worldview.

Why do you still speak to them? They are traitors to our nation and vote to harm you.
