NEW JERSEY GOV. PHIL MURPHY CALLS PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP UNEMPLOYMENT ORDER 'NOT WORKABLE'
ABC 7 NY ^ | Aug 10, 2020 | AP

NEW JERSEY -- President Donald Trump's proposed $400 a week unemployment compensation to succeed the expired $600 a week benefit, with the state paying for a quarter of it, is "just not workable," New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy said Monday.

This a day after New York Governor Andrew Cuomo called the executive order "impossible," "laughable" and "just a chapter in the book of Washington COVID mismanagement."

Murphy addressed the president's executive order, which was signed at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, over the weekend during a news conference on the coronavirus outbreak.

The problem with New Jersey picking up what could be a multi-hundred million dollar tab is the state faces its own budget woes, the governor said...

Those governors from NY to CA have all the answers, don’t they? Are they going over their books right now to see where they wasted all the money their unemployed residents could have used during this time? Of course, they are - AREN’T!

They always think there will be more coming. From where? Uncle Sugar, I guess. Losers all!

I think I see a pattern, Democrat governors blocking receipt of free money. This will not sit well with the Democrats’ prime voting bloc.

In the states where I have had employees it was always the employers who paid into the unemployment fund.”

Here in Washington state my employees always paid into the unemployment funds.

Those funds belong to the employees. The governors in California and New Jersey must have stolen the money.

Interesting his this idiot and others like him (Coumo, Newsom etc) can always find money for illegals, to house them, to educate them and to provide medical care. BUT, they just can’t seem to find the funds to help out those that actually pay taxes in their state.

NJ, where property taxes on a $600k house can be $14,000 a year but the government provides little services.

Washington doesn't have any money...It's ALL our money...

So you'd like Washington to put the tax burden on S. Dakota and Ohio to pay for your inability to run your State..

I'd say it's your State...You created the mess it's in so you figure it out...You worried those people who voted you into office might just vote you back out???

...I guess the new Rat tactic is for the Rat governors to say they can’t afford the additional costs of the new unemployment benefits...

Sort of predictable. Blue states will do everything they can to harden their voters against Trump. Red states will take the $300.

In the election, the states will break the same as last time. Unless Joe manages to drool on his tie in the debates. At that point even Trump-haters will have to believe that he would be bad for the country.

If you and your wife move, don’t you relinquish any disability unemployment, until you apply in new state?

Or, does that automatically transfer to new state?

Where will you be moving to, in three weeks?

Best of luck and safe travels.

She’s in the process of applying for SSI now because the state just won’t pay out. They’ve told her 6 times they don’t have the application that she and her doctor keep sending in. They told her to call numbers and use websites that don’t work. When they finally do acknowledge receiving the paper work they tell her it needs to be updated and resent again, which leads to several more claims they didn’t get it. We even reported 2 months ago the issues with the phone numbers not working to start an investigation, and they still don’t work.

It’s a nightmare.

We’re moving to a cabin on 40 acres in rural Maine. We’ve had enough.
