“We will have layoffs that will be historic,”

You’ve already got that bub. Now you’re seeing it could extend to the precious public employees and you can’t abide by that.

Why? They can apply for unemployment just like the rest of us.

I’m sure Murphy can plug some holes by refusing to give money to illegal aliens.

Governor Retarded Woodchuck passed an order that all stipend employees, IE couches, club advisors, after school help etc in schools are to be paid their full stipends, even though all sports have been cancelled.

So if you are a teacher and couch after school baseball, not only do you collect your full paycheck, you get the stipend as well.

Must be nice

And yet I have a $4,300 quarterly property tax payment due in May and zero money coming in

So, it’s the Fed’s fault of a corrupt state finally has to come with terms like firing folks?

Why weren’t non-essential employees laid off initially, and put on the unemployment rolls, like everybody else?

They basically all stay home anyway right now. Some are working but only the essential ones. All the rest are home collecting pay. Laying them off would let them all collect unemployment instead of being directly on the gov payroll.

But if it saves just one life it will be worth it. /S

with U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer

When did the Democrats gain a majority in the Senate?

Why should the FedGov give money to the states? The States have the power to tax and raise money. They aren’t children looking for money from mommy and daddy.

Hey Phil, why don't you start with yourself? I think we've seen enough of your "leadership" in the past two years.

Maybe you could use your free time to bone up on the Bill of Rights.

Simple. If you want to force hard working, tax paying citizens to stop working, lead by example and force government drones to do so first.

If it's too much of a hardship to ask of tax consumers, it's too much to demand from tax payers!

They will layoff the right workers to make it painful instead of finding the actual fat.

Hey, Murph. I give a fluck.

Everyone else is getting R.I.F’d but, the givernment job is guaranteed employment with indestructible benefits?

This is a call for a bailout — for debt incurred long before the pandemic. I worry the GOP in the Senate will give in on this. Just watch.
