… more job openings in America than there are “unemployed workers,”

RUSH: By the way, have you seen the news? There are now… Folks, this is amazing. There are more job openings in America than there are “unemployed workers,” more job vacancies than unemployed people to fill ’em in the country “for the first time since 2000. Data released on Tuesday by the Labor Department showed a record 6.7 million job openings in the U.S. in April, a slight increase from 6.63 million in March. The data also showed just 6.35 million workers categorized as unemployed, down from 6.59 million in March.

“‘Never before have we had an economy where the number of open jobs exceeds the number of job seekers,’ Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta said…” Of course, the reason I bring this up is because this is the biggest — the biggest — blow to this entire new Democrat idea of a guaranteed income, of a guaranteed job. Crazy Bernie’s idea, the Democrats’ idea is that if the private sector doesn’t fill every job opening it has and if there are people left over, then the government will hire them. Of course! Why not?

The government will hire ’em.

People say, “Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.”

In fact, ladies and gentlemen, there is a test of this taking place even as we speak, and it’s happening in Stock-TON, California. Now, you and I would pronounce it “STOCK-ton.” But whenever anybody working for PBS or NPR has a story about Stockton, California, they pronounce it “Stock-TON.” I know this because I heard it happen when I lived and worked out there. Stockton, California, is beginning a plan of offering everybody who earns less than 50 grand a year $500 a month.
