So Nancy Pelosi Is Refusing To Extend Unemployment As Millions Are About To Go Broke?,And It's The Republicans Delaying It? Unbelievable!

[hadit]

Soon, millions of us are about to run out of money to pay our bills. Republicans are willing to at least provide the funds to extend unemployment while working on the bill to deal with all of the other financial/stimulus related manners.
Yet she has the nerve to tell us that it's the Republicans that are holding this up? the Republicans are the ones that are about to starve millions of children?
Hopefully, all that are about to go broke are well aware that it's Nancy Pelosi that's refusing to help them out and not the Republicans!

The Republicans and Trump are the ones who are responsible for the lapse in benefits. Republicans are offering only $200 a week. That is nothing. Maybe they should start negotiating,.

Standard unemployment PLUS $200/week. That's different.

You are the one who has dementia. Republicans are responsible for this mess. They can't even agree with each other.

It is not Republicans who hyperbolized a routine seasonal flu outbreak into a major fake crisis, and then used it as an excuse to seize and abuse unprecedented and illegal powers, and to maliciously shut down the economy and throw people out of work.

You Democraps deliberately, maliciously created this crisis for political purposes. Your side totally owns it, and all the consequences thereof.

How much money did the unemployment benefits include? How much are Republicans willing to provide and for how long?

What I heard is a percentage of say 80% or 75% of what you made before NOT TO EXCEED for most of the rest of the year...............aka ........so you don't make more money than what you made at work..........

In industrial ......where I work.......that would be nobody getting more........Unemployment was a cut with the 600 PERIOD.

That is untrfue. For a lot of people, they were making nowhere near what they are making.

 

[Bob Blaylock]

Shove it up your ass.

No one is interested in your sick sexual fetishes.

When are these jack booted thugs going to be held accountable for kidnapping people?

That statement is so stupid. This is not a routine seasonal flu. The flu does not last through the summer. The coronavirus has killed around 150,000. There is nothing illegal about what even Republicans have beev forced to do.

House Democrats passed a $3T aid package about 10 weeks ago. Yes, it's the republicans who are holding up aid to ordinary Americans.

Its ALWAYS do it the Democrat way or nothing

That's "compromise" Democrat style

No. You take up the bill in the Senate in committee; you pass your own version of it and then you have a conference where differences are worked out and send it to the President.

Talking to blob supporters is like explaining the space shuttle to Fred Flintstone.

I agree you have the standard procedure for passing a Bill.
However this Bill needs to be passed yesterday (literally), so it needs to be negotiated. and passed ASAP.
I'm saying $300 a week for unemployed and zero for retirees and workers is probably doable.
Its the same UE benefit as if no covid was here, just extended thru December.

The house passed one 10 weeks before yesterday.

yeah, but $3T isn't going to work. The Senate has a better one.

There is no Senate bill. Republicans are still fighting among themselves. The McConnell bill is a bad joke.

Politics aside for a second. anyone who doesn’t think our government is broken isn’t watching.

Steve Mnuchin wants to slash $600 a week in unemployment benefits for 30 million workers who lost jobs, but supports the continuation of a $500 billion slush fund for corporations. The Trump Administration loves socialism for the rich, unfettered capitalism for everyone else.

That extra $600/week to pay people more to not work than they could be making if they were working is coming out of the pockets of those who are still working, and in many cases, making less than the deadbeats that they are being forced to subsidize. How is this, in any way, justifiable?

And, of course, this would not even be an issue at all, if not for the criminal, corrupt acts of the Democraps who maliciously sabotaged the economy, throwing all those people out of work.

Let the Democrap politicians pay for this out of their own pockets,and stop picking the pockets of workers to pay for their corruption.

You know that Nancy wrote and passed a bill 2 months ago that gave more funding to unemployment, states and businesses, right?
Did you harp on McConnell for not passing it the same way you’re harping on Nancy now?

Yeah, but it included about $2 trillion worth of stuff that only Dims wanted.

BHecause Republicans don't give a damn. They only support their corporate masters.

You have no objection to the government spending $2 trillion on bullshit? Is that what giving a damn means?

It's not like this is the 1st time she has done this...

She and Schumer did it last time....she has a $25k fridge - she couldn't give a shit about Americans who desperately need economic assistance.

After voting to Impeach the President because he was such an IMMEDIATE threat he had to be removed from office NOW, she refused to deliver the Articles of impeachment to the Senate for weeks because she spent that time abusinbg her power by trying to FORCE the Senate to conduct their Impeachment process based on what she tried to dictate.

Everything she does is calculated to be what is best for the Democratic Party, not what is best for the merican people - of whom she is supposed to be a SERVANT - or the country. This violates the 'contract' between Americans and pliticians they elect and violates the Constitution in regards whatan elected politician is supposed to be and is a violation of the oaths of office they take.

Democrats are enemies of the 'state' working within the US govt. Everything Obama, his administration, and the Democrats have done the last 4 years has proven this - they are no longer trying to hide their hate for this country and for American citizens.

Stop lying and spreading fake news. Speaker Pelosi passed her bill back in May! Senate Republicans are the holdup! They can't even pass a bill among themselves.

So if the asshole Pelosi, with her loyal majority in the House, passes a bill that says we should pay each illegal alien here a million dollars a week and give each a $24,000 freezer full of ice cream and claims the Republicans are delaying the bill, you'd shit peach pits in anger toward the Republicans?

Your lunacy slip is showing!

What if the sky turns pink and raindrops are purple. Would you still hate Democrats? What a brain dead post on your part. And then you call Democrats loons.

Nancy Pelos and the House passed a funding bill for the unemployed, states and essential workers. The Senate negotiated a bill with the White House, which doesn't fund the unemployed, or testing, or essential workers, but does exempt employers from having to protect workers for 5 years.

Nay nay, little one! You are simply lacking ability to comprehend. I don't hate Democrats. I hate most of what they do (and don't do). I think most Democrat Party members and supporters have merely been brainwashed into believing that what they do is noble and good for "we the people", without realizing that socialism has never been a viable form of government for those who seek to exercise their unalienable rights.

The United States of America has been a "socialist country" since it's founding since the Constitution mandated a "socialized" system of justice, libraries, post office, and education.

What loosely passes for "conservatives" in the USA, are advocating that the billionaire class shouldn't have to pay their fair share of the costs of running a first world country. That the middle class should be grateful to have a good-paying job and should hand over a good portion of their wages to subsidize the wages of the people the billionaires employ, because billionaires don't pay a living wage to the people making them rich.

Why should the wealthy - only 40% of whom actually hold jobs, get 80% of the money earned by their employees, and working Americans 80% of whom hold jobs, get 20% of the income they create. In Norway, the wealthy get less than 50% of the income generated. The workers get a decent life, not just subsistence wages. In Canada, they get 40%. Canada has the fastest growing middle class in the world.

Frontline workers at McDonalds are making McDonald's Corporation one of the wealthiest companies in America. Why don't they get a bigger share of the income THEY created? At least enough to live on, instead of needing a second job, and government handouts.

Where is the money to provide food, shelter, and medical testing absent in the Republican bill?

It seems the dems are locked in for the $600 or bust. That's 2400/mo PLUS the state benefits, which even in Colo is more than some laid off workers were making. And there are jobs, but not ones 2400 plus state benefits. As my wife told me (-: that incentivizes not working, but it is putting money in consumption that helps buoy econ activity, which is falling at about 10% annually. The dems are saying that IF UI comes down, they'll be open to talking about lowering the $600 mo.

The problem with that thinking is that in a recession, the lowest paying jobs get filled first. That puts a downward pressure on potential new job salaries. If there's competition for say $2400 a mo, employers will offer 2300. BUUUUUt, working at a flat top in Mississippi never paid 2400/mo. So, it's …. dysfunctional and not working

No dumbass, it's not. It's money for corporations, money for an FBI office, money to renovate the White House, but not one thin dime for testing. No extension of unemployment insurance, or eviction protections for renters. And it protects employers from being sued for failure to provide a safe working environment for employees returning to work.

Then it's time for employers to raise their wages, if they can't get people to return to work. Why is the solution always to force workers to accept less money than they need to live on?

The Dems passed their bill in May. Moscow Mitch ignored it and waited until the last minute to act. Any gap in benefits is solely on him. He's had months to put together a package that avoided any gap in benefits. He did nothing.
