I joined @GOPLeader, @RepSteel, @RepYoungKim, @RepDavidValadao and others last week to demand answers in response to confirmation that @CA_EDD has paid out over $11b in fraudulent unemployment claims.

According to this week<U+2019>s report from the Department of Labor, the last time inflation was this high I was sporting a mullet- it was 1982. https://t.co/e6P0qoDAXB
