The further erosion of the safety net.

As Americans struggle with rising costs, many states’ unemployment benefits fall short, analysis finds​

The U.S. unemployment insurance system is not prepared for a recession, experts say — with benefits in many states falling far short of workers’ wages.

Currently, most states offer maximum benefits far below the bipartisan recommendation that the top payments cover at least two-thirds of workers’ prior average weekly wages, according to an analysis exclusively provided to CNBC by Michele Evermore, a senior fellow at the National Academy of Social Insurance, a nonprofit that focuses on the country’s safety net.

“The big takeaway here is that with stagnant maximum weekly amounts, UI is not going to be able to act as a stabilizer in 2026, even as well as it did in 2008,” Evermore told CNBC.

The material effect being the next recession will be more severe because the unemployed will be forced to reduce spending even further than they ordinarily would have to. But heck, we don't have to worry any time soon, right? Cuz we have trump's A++++++ economy. The greatest the world has seen, right?

Maybe if they didn't have so much fraud and money going to places like Somalia they wouldn't have so many cuts?

Why is it that trumples reflexive response to always to point the finger of blame and not think about solutions?

The Federal-State Unemployment Compensation Program was signed into law as part of the Social Security Act on Aug. 14, 1935, (at which point Italy, Poland and Great Britain had already established their own unemployment insurance systems). At that time, during the Great Depression, between 11 million and 15 million Americans were out of work, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

The aim of the insurance program was to protect the economy during downturns, allowing unemployed people to keep paying their bills and to get the time they needed to find another appropriate job.

But the current benefits may fail to achieve those goals, Evermore said.

To cut to the chase, we'll have more dependence on charity and we'll see more people/families living together in the same house to split expenses.

Those who can afford better will have better. As for the rest, too bad. This appears to be what America wants.

The right's unwarranted hostility toward unemployment insurance and Medicaid is another example of Republicans' contempt for sound, responsible governance.

The solution is to get rid of the fraud we are finding, not ignore it.

or we get rid of the people who aren't supposed to be here, get rid of the fraud that has been allowed to fester, and maybe start telling people to live within their means.

Horrible, I know.

First this is apples to oranges. Unemployment INSURANCE is a benefit that is paid for by the worker. Conversely MEDICAID is a welfare program. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. Don't spend so much on welfare gimme programs for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS and states might have enough to fund the INSURANCE that workers paid for. States didn't find any problem collecting those premiums.

9% of ACA enrollees go uninsured after enhanced subsidies expire, poll finds​

Many Americans are feeling the financial pain following the expiration of enhanced federal subsidies for Affordable Care Act marketplace health insurance.

About 1 in 10 people — 9% — who were enrolled in an ACA marketplace health plan last year are now uninsured following the lapse of enhanced subsidies that reduced their monthly premiums, according to a new survey by KFF, a nonpartisan health policy research group.

Many more people said they downgraded health insurance or face financial stress due to higher costs for health care, according to the poll.

The safety net isn't eroding--democrats are abusing and defrauding it. Everyone is aware now of the Somali daycare fraud scandals in MN and now whistleblowers--Nick Shirley among them, are exposing multi million dollar fraud in the CA hospice industry.
Maybe you should remove the criminals from your own party before decrying systems that would be operational and have adequate funding were it not for democrat fraud.

Without changing the rule on the filibuster the SAVE Act (which should be known as the The Only Thing That Can SAVE My Ass Is Cheating, Act) is DOA. So are the R's in the midterms.
