(Joseph Rushmore | The New York Times) A couple waiting with their children wait to be helped with filing unemployment insurance claims during an in-person event run by the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission, in Tulsa, Okla., July 24, 2020. "Republicans have a long history of suggesting that the jobless are moral failures — that they’d rather sit home watching TV than work. And the Trump years have been marked by a relentless assault on programs that help the less fortunate, from Obamacare to food stamps," said Paul Krugman.
