he $600 federal unemployment bonus is dead this weekend so bury it“
Let’s hope that also doesn’t kill Trump at the polls. There are still a LOT of unemployed people. And they’re allowed to vote last time I checked
Politically, they should cut it to $3-400 through November or December. GOP was stupid to agree to $600 ever, let alone capitulating to the lockdown.
The largest employer in our area has reopened 75% of the operation yet only 25% returned. The rest were “looking after their elderly parents”, or are single parents who are looking after their kids, or are over 65 with diabetes,; many were part time workers making 260 week who now make $120 u/e benefits plus 600 week. So their weekly income from when they worked last has gone from 260 to 720 per week. Most of them are gaming the system and I’d be surprised if 1/100 were Trump supporters. I hear that those who returned to work are demoralized that cheating coworkers make
more than full time workers. My recommendation is make them whole to their last work....in this example give them 140 to total it out to 260 week.
They don’t deserve 720 week sitting home.
Is Nancy screaming out that if you vote for trump you are voting against your free welfare yet?
Have they started on the elderly with the old SSI trick yet?
People do not stay bought. Either they will vote for Trump and continued freedom, or they will not vote at all, or they will vote for the imposition of communism on this once freedom loving Republic. Appeasement is not the answer to the shut down of this country. Stop all of it, and the communist democrat party and their affiliates and fellow travelers will not be able to continue to keep the American people hostage while they destroy this Republic. Enough already!
The unemployed people who qualified were already getting checks from their States.
