HARRISBURG, Pa. — Governor Tom Wolf sent a letter to Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation reaffirming his support for an extension of the federal $600 weekly unemployment benefit that expired last month, his office said Friday in a press release.

With Senate Republicans failing to pass a bill continuing the program, President Trump on Aug. 8 authorized a plan that will reduce and delay payments to workers in need, end the benefit for 30,000 Pennsylvanians and increase the burden on states, Wolf said.

Because he can’t keep things shut down without it. Tensions are rising and Democrats from purple areas are going wobbly on him.

You ‘tards could have had your precious $600 Santa Claus money if your See You Next Tuesday leader in Congress would have simply passed it and not glued on a bunch of irrelevant left wing nonsense. Trump has repeatedly promised to put $1T of our tax dollars in a pile and burn it. You had one job!

I don’t agree with Trump promising to extend the Santa Claus money burning party, but I understand current reality, and getting “School Lunched” will result in the Communists getting complete control and utter, final disaster.

Hey, Wolf. You do realize that according to the Constitution, it is the HOUSE, run by Nancy Pelosi, that must originate all spending bills? Why are you blaming the Senate for not passing what the House hasn't sent?

I love how that works. Pelosi loads the Bill up with every Leftist Wet Dream known to Man, but the Republicans get blamed even though they proposed a targeted Bill to extend the Unemployment Compensation Program that the Rat Senators refused to endorse.

These are Republican campaign ads in the making. Every day run a commercial with another gibmedat the rats put in the bill that doesn’t apply to the COVID madness.

He lied in the first quote. The senate republicans never “refused” to pass anything. They had a bill that included money for this, but the senate democrats blocked the bill from consideration.

In 2016 I told my family, friends and Freepers to watch PA.

I said Trump would take it late and go over the top to win.

Now I warn the Dems will do ANYTHING to STEAL it this year.
