Maybe he should talk to Chuck and Nancy....
Then open up and stop closing businesses then.
Does he think the federal government is rolling in dough? It is his state, he is the governor and should find solutions for his citizens.
NJ broke as can be, former Goldman Sachs CEO governor has made it infinitely worse (and that’s saying something) but it’s Trump’s fault Murphy can’t afford to provide unemployment to people he made unemployed. But of course all the social programs remain fully funded and government workers are enjoying full paychecks, don’t doubt that.
“”””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...””””””
Maybe it is different there in the land of toxic waste dumps.
In the states where I have had employees it was always the employers who paid into the unemployment fund. My contribution rate would change over the years depending on how much money they needed. It was higher in times of high unemployment.
My wife is still waiting for her disability/$600/wk unemployment benefit she was approved for all the way back to March in NJ. They haven’t paid a dime yet.
“Budget woes” is an understatement. It’s a disaster here and Murphy is the idiot at the helm of it.
3 more weeks and I’m out of this state forever. Can’t wait.
Fine, go ahead and explain it to your hard working, down and out labor force on just why you can make the extra $400 bucks a week not work. They won’t understand your inept leadership Governor.
Billions still left in the CARES act the state can access to pay the $100.
Oh, two different threads now say that California and New Jersey can’t afford $100 a week for their people. Screw them.
So sad, too bad! The idiot Democrat run states that are dragging their feet on unemployment need to have some skin in the game regarding the costs they are running up... Needlessly.
Maybe, just maybe leeping everyone locked in out of fear isn’t a good idea?
Especially since they didn’t do that with Swine Flu, h1n1, or ebola.
Businesses then should open.
I guess the new Rat tactic is for the Rat governors to say they can’t afford the additional costs of the new unemployment benifits. These people are annoying.

Well Phil you wanted to be Gov so make it work
Interesting the governors bitching about this, Newsome, Murphy and Cuomo are RATS.
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.
Did Newsome get his talking points from Murphy?
