33 States Out of Unemployment Funds

But, never fear, the “experts” are convinced that we are in a sustained recovery period and all will be well:

With unemployment still at a severe high, a majority of states have drained their jobless benefit funds, forcing them to borrow billions from the federal government to help out-of-work Americans.

A total of 33 states and the Virgin Islands have depleted their funds and borrowed more than $38.7 billion to provide a safety net, according to a report released Thursday by the National Employment Law Project. Four others are at the brink of insolvency.

One thing, though: weren’t the experts now telling us all is well once telling us that all was well, just before the crash?
