And let me just add that I believe unemployment, workmans' comp and disability insurance are valuable programs and important parts of the social safety net we need to have in a humane society, and are particularly important for people with physically difficult jobs.

I was wondering why I hadn't seen her talking head for a while.

The article was from 2014, though.
Oh…in that case, I wonder what's going on now? Maybe Kellyanne is keeping her away from the cameras?
Apparently, we missed her [just the other day.]
D'oh! I didn't check the date assuming my news feed was current. Sorry.
Happens to me alla time, it's why I double-check.
