As for Trump’s proposal, some thoughts.
First, he is giving those unemployed an extra $400 a week, down from $600. This helps those without a job.
I would add that back when I got laid off from Western Electric, then part of AT&T when the great monopoly was shut down, I too got an extra couple hundred a week in my unemp. check, plus an extra half a year to get a check.
Employers pay money into a fund for federal unemployment pmts. just for this reason. It’s called FUTA and back when I did payroll for Western Electric, insert smile here, it was .08% per gross payroll per pay period. So the extra money is meant to be used to these exact sorts of things.
As for FICA and Medicare.....I got mixed emotions about this. Even more so because Trump said he would extend the removal of these payroll taxes after the first of the year if he was elected.
My biggest concern is, as a former payroll processor, it will be hell on wheels to begin deducting that from paychecks again. You are talking 7.65% increase in gross wages without these deducts. YOU tell Joe Blow down in receiving that as of next week your paycheck will go down almost 8%.
On the other hand, it is for money that, economically, should not be needed until the payees retire. IF they are using these deducts now, for people like me who have already paid all my life, WELL THEY SHOULDN’T BE.
BUT it sure is a way to get money to people who already have a job. And Trump’s declaration that he may keep them stopped, well hey, maybe instead of giving China all this money from our ruling class, such as social security and medicare should be paid by the government in some form and fashion.
Not sure about that but I am mulling it over.
I love the way Trump began with a list of outrageous requests asked for by the government. He gave a list of things the Dems wanted that had nothing to do with the Corona virus.
This is a Trump victory. Bear in mind he isn’t authorizing NEW money in the budget. Payroll taxes come out of paychecks and the unemployment is paid by the FUTA tax.
