Biden's Labor pick would turn America into one big California mess

President Biden has nominated California's Julie Su to be the next United States Secretary of Labor.

Republican Kevin McCarthy represents California's 20th district and is the 55th Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.

During the pandemic, Julie Su and her Employment Development Department (EDD) became the national poster child for government failure. Su’s department notoriously paid $32.6 billion in fraudulent unemployment benefits to scammers using names like John Doe and Dianne Feinstein. It was the largest case of fraud in California history, enabled by Su’s inexplicable decision to forgo basic fraud prevention measures like cross-checking benefit claims against the prison rolls. The consequences are now clear to see – both Sacramento and Washington project billions of dollars in deficits this fiscal year, requiring hard choices between different programs that could have been avoided if Su’s department took proper care of taxpayer funds.
