The slackers you refer to at low skill jobs are 100% on the dole now, and providing SNAP benes to them while they earn a paycheck is far more cost effective than the Biden "sit on your butt, bums" present plan.
They have "Every Day Low Skill Sets". Those with McSkills make McWages at McJobs.
Newsflash! Billionaires and companies barely pay taxes. Most middle class bare the brunt of taxation currently under trump's tax cuts to billionaires.
The taxes you pay are funding billionaires! If those billionaires paid a livable wage with decent benefits, we tax payers wouldn't have to. Simple as that.
You are hilarious. It is time middle age, prime of life folks, get past no skill, entry level jobs. Those jobs fit the 16 year olds well.
PS: Every year, Wal Mart promotes 90,000 Americans, 75% of whom lack even a Bachelor's degree. That gets them past entry level wages. 675,000k promotions per decade, for non degreed staff, 900k overall.
Now I applaud the 25 states ending the extra $300/wk for couch surfing program. It should have ended IMO after q2 2020. We need to avoid ever offering it again.
I call it like it is. Sorry but your taxes are going straight into the pockets of the Waltons in the case of Walmart!
You’re talking in circles because you deflect from answering questions that don’t fit your narrative.
So those with families need to better themselves and get a job that pays more.
Since when were entry level jobs meant to support folks with families?

I don't think anyone has ever denied that an individual cannot support a family on an entry-level wage.
Of course, I'll give you that most, if not all, on the right don't believe you're supposed to be able to, and you absolutely don't have a right to.
Otherwise, you're talking about some type of supplement from the taxpayer/government - like a UBI - so that folks can start and stay at an entry-level job their entire life.
And so, it's taxpayers supplementing the income of those who qualify for Medicaid/SNAP, etc.
Maybe more jobs beyond entry level should be available in the US rather than being sent overseas…and for those that want more pay for jobs available in the US, there’s plenty of them, if folks choose to better themselves versus complaining they don’t make enough money…because entitlement
I thought trump's tax cuts to the wealthy and businesses were going to bring all those jobs back. Didn't work now, did it? We were all duped and the jobs went away with the corporations' taxes.
Lol. There’s plenty of higher paying jobs. Folks simply don’t want to put in the effort to achieve them.
Those would be factory jobs which the US hemorrhaged under trump.

Trump's anti-trade agenda and a pandemic-induced recession have combined to shutter factories and accelerate decades-old trends toward automation, eliminating hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, many for good, including in the Rust Belt states.
Quote:
Michigan was down some 66,500 manufacturing workers in July 2020 from July 2019 — and the general trend, even before Covid-19, was down as well. There were 10,200 fewer manufacturing workers in the state in February 2020 than there were in February 2019.
Ohio was down 48,000 manufacturing workers in July from last year. Pre-pandemic, it had lost 2,200 workers in February from last year.
The trend is mirrored nationwide. Manufacturing across the U.S. is still down 720,000 workers.
This and many people have kids who were doing virtual school or hybrid and now it is summer. Who is going to watch the kids when they can’t go to school all week?
my guess would be whoever watched them before, when school was out.
Was there a large % of people who worked full-time jobs, but only the hours their children were gone at school?
If Wal-Mart paid all of their FT employees enough so they didn't qualify for Medicaid, SNAP, etc - how much would that cost them annually, vs how much they make today?
Do you know?
Cost the billionaire Waltons?
