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.
Sure, America is too big for protests š Thatās why I didnāt just mention M-a-L, but billionaire villas too. Protests at the closes place that makes sense. The white house, your local rich people quarter, Mar-a-Lagos, an ICE facility, the villa of the local Trump supporter,ā¦
If you get enough people together itās hard to ignore. Make the rich fear the people again.
March when never possible, with as many people as possible. And if that fails? General strike.
Sure there were a few āno kingā demos, but they ended too soon and protested the wrong places. The ultra rich and Trump himself should feel the heat.
