Reynolds wants to reduce unemployment benefits....

This should coincide nicely with actively making it harder for food insecure families this summer.
No matter how much people want to delude themselves into why this is right, children will be the ones that suffer for it.
 
Take a drive around the university of Iowa campus, especially around the hospital and tell me how slow the construction work is right now this time of the year.
Doesn’t look like many workers are being driven away. Doesn’t look like the university is having problems finding construction companies either.
If you think that construction doesn't slow down during the winter then there's no reason to keep discussing any of this with you.
 
I'm calling you selfish based on your consistently stated opinions that always - always - lack empathy. And you keep inventing justifications for your lack of empathy. Factory workers were stupid and greedy for taking higher paying jobs that they know have a risk of layoffs. I express empathy for others but you can't believe I am a good person and so you decide, out of thing air, that I don't really care about others; I just claim to for the sake of argument.

You criticize others for things you invent in your head about them. I'm criticizing you for your clearly stated views.
Well maybe we need more threads about some situations that I have much more empathy for. Let’s talks about people dying of cancer for no reason or people dying in a car crash for no reason. Some things people deserve empathy over. In fact I’ve shared empathy in some of those similar threads, when someone’s family member or pets dies.
Not something that involves a person making a choice that turned out to not be such a great choice in the end.
Plus you say I don’t have empathy but I clearly showed you earlier that I do. I think they should get the 16 weeks I just don’t think they need 25 weeks. That’s still having empathy for someone.

This clearly shows that I’m not the one criticizing for things invented in my head but it shows that you are the one doing so when you say I have no empathy.
Better luck next time. Again I’m showing empathy now towards you.

Construction doesn't slow down during the winter, it merely goes inside where it becomes less apparent to the casual observer,.. You plan the entire year around the anticipated weather patterns,.. Thanksgiving is always a building enclosure goal for places like Iowa...
 
How is it a slower economy? Because open jobs get filled quicker? Seasonal jobs would get back to work sooner because they are no longer getting paid to be at home? How is it slower?
You claimed that deporting immigrants would open up jobs. It would. But would anyone take them? And the answer is probably not.

We are already at full employment. Anyone who wants a job in this state probably already has one. There simply aren't enough people on unemployment to make a significant dent in the job market.

So deport the people who build our buildings, and work at the meat processing plants, and chances are nobody fills these positions.

Huey has never had a job so per usual he is clueless.

It absolutely slows down.

 
Citizens need to understand the REAL motivation behind this...Reynolds 100% knows Iowa's financial budget will be in DEEP trouble soon...2-3 years.
Voucher program and cutting taxes was ill advised.

Buckle up.
