The Democrats and their propaganda arm, the media, will tout how things are improving until right when the unemployment benefits stop (right before the election) and then refuse to do much of anything to help the recovery. That way, they can blame Trump/Republicans/Conservatives/ThosetryingtokilluswithCovid-19. Hide and watch, wait and see.
Um, no ... they’ve already started the blame Trump game. And since when are the Dems “for the people”?
They have already started blaming Trump for everything, including the recession that they caused.
Huh? When isn’t it blame (insert GOP name here)?
Most recent report on April mortgage applications showed an extraordinary resurgence from March with the result being just a 1.5% drop year over year after a 35% drop the previous month.
I’ve got news for you. DJT will sign a bill extending the unemployment benefits. Take a look at this chart:

You’ve got to go down TEN states before you hit a blue one. And then a bunch more red states. The reason for this is that red states tend to use formulas that pay less benefits. The $ 600 wk bonus tends to skew these numbers.
Now the smart employers, like mine, will call their employees back with limited hours. I’m on a 16 hr wk schedule right now until business picks up. So, if you’re a restaurant that is now open, you call your ppl back Fri & Sat, 5 hrs each day. When employees file weekly, you’re asked how much you made and if you worked a full 40 hr schedule (at least in Utah, which is one of the stingiest states of all - they didn’t even get rid of the waiting week, which the CARES act specifically asked states to do).
Your people are considered partially furloughed, so they get partial state unemployment benefits, but the FULL Covid-19 bonus payment of $ 600 per week.
I haven’t seen any evidence of the media/dem complex being “for the people” in any way. All they ever do is blame Trump and spew hatred for him and anyone who dared to vote for him.
