    17 year lows.

    Texas was lowest since 1976. I thought I read that's when they started tracking? Besides disability, health reasons, daycare, is there ANY reason for an able bodied person to be collecting unemployment?

    Social stability. Unemployment is set up as a temporary means to ensure that people don't have to immediately uproot their lives after losing a job. You can't collect unemployment in perpetuity (although I'm sure there are loopholes).

    Capital hates Labor, so the Capitalist Tool the Fed will fire many 100Ks or more this year by raising rates

    Wages havent really increased, real household incomes still stagnant for 40 years, new jobs are mostly low-paid, low-benefit, quickly disposable, and Ms are precarious, increasingly numerous "gig" jobs.

    Non-wealthy incomes still arent back to late 90s level or even to pre-Banksters Great Depression levels

    90%+ of increased national wealth goes to top 5%

    The all-powerful, unstoppable oligarchy is laffing its ass off as You People fool yourselves that Happy Times Are Here Again.

    Sociopathic, oligarchy Repugs have kicked 4M+ out of health insurance

    Lou Dobbs, even when he was on CNN, has been whining for years about the loss of good jobs, the hollowing, destruction of the middle class.

    40M+ still on public assistance, in or near poverty, most of them are WHITE and have ty paying job(s).

    I wasn't arguing who caused what. Liberals have a much harder time believing someone can be independent than a republican.

    The afterglow of Obama was just the natural growth to the economy after the Banksters Great Depression, a growth that was intentionally, of course maliciously crippled by Repugs blocking govt spending, killing many 100Ks of jobs at all govt levels, and of course austerity, like cutting $Bs and 10Ks of jobs from Federal agences, esp IRS.

    McC said the Repugs priority was not governing but to make Obama a one term President.

    Trash and Repugs have done nothing for economy of the The Common Good,

    Able bodied people can't get disability because they are able bodied. They also don't have health problems because they are able bodied. So in effect you're saying "besides daycare". There's a difference between employment and gainful employment. You and I could get a job collecting baskets from the parking lot of HEB. That wouldn't pay a mortgage, college tuition, car payment, insurance, medical, food, etc..

    The reason some people are unemployed is because they have a price for success, and what's available doesn't pay it.
