    The number of Americans filing applications for new unemployment benefits fell last week for the third straight week, continuing to hover near historic lows. In part, thanks to tax & regulatory reform.https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-jobless-claims-fall-for-third-consecutive-week-1535027678?mod=pls_whats_news_us_business_f …

        Your reasoning re: why those numbers fell is faulty. Yr Tweet is hard-hearted and insensitive. In OK, retail sales folks w > a decade of experience still work for low wages. Can barely make ends meet & still worry if their hours will be cut & they'll lose health insurance.

        He doesn't like to give people the facts, just spin and obfuscation so he can push his TaxScam. He thinks we are a bunch of rubes, unable to know what is going on without his explaining it to us. He knows we know there is no way to make his TaxScam benefit most Okies.

        Do you actually talk to working class Oklahomans? To teachers? To those without adequate health coverage? Or are you simply floating in the world of Washington elites?

        Replying to @ritamayfield2 @RealWillBiddle and

        Schools are not able to fill their teacher jobs. Some teachers have moved to another state for a living wage, others are still on the job, but sadly, I know several that have had to take a second job to make a living. I think he just was asking if he had talked to teachers.

        Rita is right. I am implying that most ordinary Oklahomans are not reaping the benefits that Washington insiders such as @SenatorLankford thinks they are - and he would know if he actually payed attention to what his electorate is saying.

        Ok... but what does teachers leaving, or having a “low” wage have anything to do with low unemployment rates? How are the two related? And how do you know what his entire electorate is saying?

        Nah I'm just a trucker not even otr so very average and common. We all are doing well. Some jobs here are getting up to 30.00 and you dont even need a college degree in any thing. Granted engineering degrees pay better but you get the point.
