Donald Trump’s administration is threatening to withdraw federal funding for unemployment assistance in all 50 states as part of the president’s nationwide campaign against “fraud” 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 “every available tool” to combat “waste, fraud and abuse” within state-run unemployment insurance programs, including “withholding administrative funds from states” 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.
I mean, Trump’s war of choice in Iran was an unmitigated disaster. I can’t imagine how poorly they would respond to domestic guerrilla warfare
You can consider it a disaster because iranian drones drilled them a new one. But keep in mind these guys are sociopath with no value for human life besides their own. They would totally send soldiers kill as many as possible while suffering high losses without a second thought.
Horror. Abject horror would be the result.
If it’s like Iran, it looks like he’d try to fight this weaker force, lose anyways, and then push the cost on all Americans, which would just grow the insurgency. His incompetence extends to military strategy.
Except Iran actually has a military to fight back, not to mention support from China regarding drone supply. I think you’re vastly overestimating the average American’s capability for war. Especially when compared to the U.S. military.
I’m estimating their capability as equal to one Iranian each.
What is the Strait of Hormuz equivalent that U.S. insurgents can control? Because that is quite literally the only reason Iran has a fighting chance.
Nice try, FBI.
The US military hasn’t won against an insurgent force since Vietnam. Big shiny weapons don’t subjagate a populace, the USA doesn’t have the numbers they need to control a population as large as ours, nor do they have enough to cover the amount of land they would need to control.
