Gavin Newsom estimated Monday it would cost the state $700 million per week to implement President Donald Trump’s proposed unemployment boost.

Newsom said Trump’s offer, which would require states to pick up 25% of the cost, would cause further delays at the state’s beleaguered unemployment department and force harsh new cuts in a state saddled with a record $54 billion deficit.

Like all fat, big spending government programs to “help the people” most of that money goes to bureaucrats, patronage, contractors, kickbacks “oversight”, etc.

Didn’t the state have to cough up funds under the $600 a week pla?

Not a peep out of them then.

Sorry to tell you this but for every dollar the State of California hands out it takes a bucket load of dollars in state employee costs, software modification costs, legal analysis by political cronies, plus supervisory expenses and overhead to support state buildings.

You just included the cost of the money being given out in your fuzzy math.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah, well people can’t take all that information in

Gruesome is dumb enough for making that statement and his voters are even dumber for doing the math

about 2.5 million unemployed... so $700 million divided by 2.5 million is $280 per person per week to send them a check.

I thought there were only 3 million unemployed and 4 million dead people collecting benefits.
