I could easily be wrong, but I think you can collect unemployment for about 6 months. So, maybe claims are down because people have been unemployed so long they no longer qualify?

It's not like we can't go look up the data at the department of Labor:

Anyone heard Trump going on about how he wanted to give money directly to the American people, so they could buy insurance, rather than giving it to the insurance companies?

I looked up that plan.  It failed in the Senate, but the plan was to establish health savings accounts for each person and have the government make a contribution to the HSA so that the person could buy insurance.

Trump's plan was to give each person on an exchange plan a total of $1500.  Per year.  Unless you are under 50 years old, in which case it was $1000.  Per year.  In an HSA.

To buy health care.

For the year.

That's what he meant by not giving money to the evil insurance companies and instead giving it directly to the people.

A lot of people just want stimmies. And they'll happily accept them even if they are now getting screwed harder than they were before

A lot of Republican voters want free government money, but Socialism is where they totally draw the line.
