“dealing a significant financial blow to millions of jobless Americans”
Tragic. Now, how about ending those business lock downs, so that they can earn an income again?
DJT should have told Mitch and the boys from the Chamber of Commerce that the $600 a week was going to be used to start a new war in Uganda. He would have signed off in a nanosecond.
Millenial: “Nooooooooooooooooooooooo....how am I gonna buy my weed???”
Trying to reason with jackasses is assine.
The Senate should simply pass a bill with a liability limitation and $200 per week plus a 20% of the state amount add on effective for eight weeks after enactment.
The $1200 stuff should not be given out to avoid another drug OD epidemic and because the 20% add-on.
The payroll protection scheme should not be continued. People can file for unemployment without administratively overloading unemployment systems.
A Washington Post article said that France was pretty much back to normal.
good. Because not a dollar of the trillion or three or whatever is justified. Not a dollar for stimulus checks. Not a dollar for unemployment. Not a dollar for a damn thing. We are not a socialist country. S*** happens. Suck it up
people here are saying we shouldn’t be paying this but we should be getting that and this and the other thing. No. No stimulus checks. States have unemployment insurance and nothing else in there is justified at all. We are 26 trillion dollars in debt. What the hell happened to this board’s ideals?
for a while I thought well if it will get Trump elected... NO!!
we’re spending an awful lot of money to get a president elected. It never cost 10 trillion dollars to get a president elected before.
more than half the money will go towards graft. It was a scam shut down. I am done. Not a dime. I hope nothing is settled and they go on vacation...
until the elections. We are not gaining votes by spending 3 trillion that’s a fantasy
I know a number of Democrats, my dopey sister included, who have lost their jobs due to the state shutdowns, and these were good-paying State Government jobs that they all thought were bullet-proof.
Ha. Ha.
The unemployment processing is so backed up in our Dem-Run state, NONE of them have even seen DIME ONE as of today, let alone $600 extra each week. Sis DID get her $1,200.00 perk, though. She bought a bike and some shoes. Good planning, actually for biking and hoofing it around looking for work, LOL!
I doubt they’ll blame anyone other than President Trump and still vote for Brain-Dead Biden or his replacement. Can’t be looking to our Socialist Governor and the two Socialist Mayors we have in our largest cities, hardest hit by all of this self-inflicted B#llshiite!
LIBERATE WISCONSIN!
He’ll sign anything. He’s a fan of large spending.
Putting on the show for all the sheople
Gee, Governors might have to let their people go..back to work....in the businesses they have not destroyed ...yet
This is a very difficult corundum.
The country needs to get back to work (obviously) but driving through my town yesterday we saw a lot of “for lease” signs and businesses with “closed” signs since March. So many of these businesses are not coming back.
