Sanders didn't claim there were 76 million Americans unemployed at a specific time fishwax Apr 2021 #19

76 million people is almost 25% of the entire population, including children and retired Americans.. George II Apr 2021 #21

Bernie is talking about unemployment claims wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #23

Edit: Responded to my own post, see post #21. George II Apr 2021 #20

Where did the 76 million number come from? LetMyPeopleVote Apr 2021 #25

I haven't a clue. George II Apr 2021 #26

You are being willingly obtuse due to the messenger... jcgoldie Apr 2021 #43

Read the tweet, please: George II Apr 2021 #50

Its been posted throughout this thread jcgoldie Apr 2021 #51

He didn't say "unemployment claims", he said explicitly "....LOST THEIR JOBS". George II Apr 2021 #53

and what statistic would you use to measure job loss? jcgoldie Apr 2021 #54

Simply asked, how many people lost their jobs, two thirds of the workforce? From your link.... George II Apr 2021 #55

So your own reference jcgoldie Apr 2021 #36

two thirds of the workforce did not lose their jobs Skittles Apr 2021 #39

He took the numbers from this site wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #41

THe Assumption Here Seems To Be Jobs Were Always Lost But None Gained Me. Apr 2021 #52

The claim that 76 million jobs lost still appears to be accurate wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #62

Seems We Are Still Living In A World Of Alternate Facts Me. Apr 2021 #70

where does he get 76 million from? Skittles Apr 2021 #28

It's about 2/3 of the US workforce of about 120 million. George II Apr 2021 #30

PLease See #31 Me. Apr 2021 #32

Yes, that's it. It was never more than about 22 million (some figures have it at about 23 million).. George II Apr 2021 #34

"Joe Biden Promised us $2,000 checks!" wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #71

I got $2,000. My wife got $2,000. But what does this have to do with the topic at hand? George II Apr 2021 #72

Were they in single $2,000 checks? wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #74

I don't care. They could have done it in 2,000 $1 checks. That's $2,000. And NOT the "same mindset". George II Apr 2021 #76

Funny, you seem to care whether Bernie meant unemployment claims wellst0nev0ter Apr 2021 #77

I don't try to read anything into what I see. That tweet speaks for itself, it's pretty obvious. George II Apr 2021 #79

Apparently his colleague, Ro Khanna, doesn't agree with him: George II Apr 2021 #73
