“We’ve got help-wanted signs up everywhere, we get calls and letters and texts from people, from all sorts of businesses all across the state looking for people to work,” McMaster, a Republican, told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Monday before deriding the federal benefits as “as close to socialism that I’ve seen.” “People won’t come to work because they’re getting as much money or more in some cases by staying home,” the Republican governor added. “We’ve got people and businesses that are looking for people actively every day and can’t find them because they are at home drawing this pay. … Go get a job and get back to work. That’s how you build an economy, build a family, and everything else,” …A number of GOP governors have announced that their states, respectively, would opt out of the federal unemployment program. On Monday, Alabama Kay Ivey, a Republican, became the latest to leave the program, saying it would end in mid-June.
