Those nitwits didn’t think that far ahead. They’re like children, living in the moment with no consideration for the long term.
Democrats were proposing bumping it to $2,000 a month/4,000 a month for couples "until the economy improves."
I think they go 39 weeks which would be more like October/November.
This is the reason why I think we will have a fast recovery. The great majority of "lost" jobs are in industries where employment is very fluid. Waiters, hairdressers, nail salons have some long term employees, but a lot of them bounce rapidly from job to job.
Two months of high pay with no work might be considered job stability by many of these people.
In 4 months they will all be right back to their old tricks. The ownership of the restaurant or business they work for might have changed, and the lender for the fixtures will be screwed by the bankruptcy of the previous owner, but the new owner will get a bargain price for the fixtures and will have a new establishment up and running.
They are the same people who are surprised when they figure out that rent is due on the first of the month and it is already the 28th. Responsible people start setting money aside for rent right after they pay it for this month.
I remember talking to a guy who was lamenting that he and his GF were hit with a "flurry of bills". Electricity, water, phone -- all unpredictable stuff like that.
