Yeah but they didn’t put no stimulus checks in it what about the ones that don’t work and they can’t work and collect unemployment like the single moms or the single dad’s or the disability people what about them
A lot of people got their hours cut, but are still working. They need checks too.
@Samantha HW Yes I know that we all need help right now
@Patty Baker I agree. That was my point. A lot of people have been hurt and when we start to whittle down who gets help, we leave out a lot of other people who are hurting. ❤️
Were the stimulus package for American citizens people needing money make it please send stimulus package 🎅🎄⛄❄☃️🌲🌬
If you are able to talk on the internet, you don’t need a stimulus check. Humans lived in trees and ate roots and survived, you can too.
A package with no checks. Don’t make me laugh
Half a loaf Mich McConnell with a liability waiver for dead kids at schools and teachers and nursing homes that’s what half a loaf or skinny Mich McConnell wants so good luck bc if that liability waiver for 500 billion nope and will do zero good yep zero half a loaf Mich
Double bonuses for Wall Street for Christmas!
millions of mixed earners ui has already expired but no one talks about that
They can apply for PUA after UI expires
Here’s something to think about: Based on the data, members of Congress and Senate average salaries are $150k or more plus benefits, perks, expenses accounts and much more!
Why should they be concerned about passing any kind of bill to help the taxpayers that are hurting economically and financially for months?
Approval of funding Government takes only a few days and they have done it, what about 3 time already since March! Why? Is it because it effects their own pockets?
does pus extended when and do get the 400 or 600 in unemployment checkd
What about seniors a lot of us r on fix in come.
Biden’s stimulus plan helps seniors and everyone in the middle class. I hope he can get it passed.
I hope he gets it passed too, seniors are people who deserve to be paid the most. They’ve spent years working for this country
Don’t they know that people need their stimulus checks so they can donate to Trump’s campaign to finance bogus election fraud lawsuits?
Pandemic has nothing to do with the poverty it is the draconian lockdowns….
Yes God I’m yet holdin on.
After all the months of being unemployed 600 isn’t that much. Not like it was in spring. People are in debt because no fault of their own. It should be retro to Sep 1
How about no bailouts, same for big tech.
@Evili and all the bailouts prior that failed? Write it off as a mismanaged loss and watch a quarter of the populace fall off a cliff?
@Luxe I would agree.
That’s nice people can get unemployment benefits but people who aren’t eligible for unemployment and don’t have a job. guess they must think it’s ok for people who don’t have any income
Thats what pua is for, so people that wouldn’t usual be eligible can receive it. That’s one of the programs that are about to end
Biden *itch you better get them checks… And yall cheat ed Trump…
So, who’s going to vote these people in again?
Hopefully Biden and economic team can help us cus damn trump nor his republicans wanna help like it’s my fault I lost my job
You think Biden is going to help. That is laughable. The man has 47 years in and hasn’t done not one damn thing.
McConnell wants immunity for coronavirus lawsuits. Start tracking down Republican lawmakers businesses and property so those evicted can squat there. Also converge on courthouses and demonstrate for indicting the murderers in Trump administration. Do it on the state, county and city level too! Courts can put up wanted posters DEAD OR ALIVE. Anyone interferes arrest also or use whatever force needed to get justice for the over quarter million dead because of stupidity by Trump and enablers
Help now
Such a smart government! Give money to businesses that will have no customers. Dumbasses!
I’m in my 50s, paid all my taxes and got laid off in April. My job isn’t coming back and it’s been horrible trying to find another one. I’m wondering what’s the point of paying so much in taxes over the years into programs that are supposed to help me and I’m getting the shaft? Unemployment is not free money! I paid in to it! Plus I pay taxes on my unemployment!
@jerry wannayacht And???
@Beau Prewitt it seems your opinion is not popular.
@jerry wannayacht not an opinion, it’s fact.
@Beau Prewitt please state your facts and give references to your research
@jerry wannayacht I stated the facts and gave you the name of the taxes used to fund unemployment. My source is I work for the department of labor. I work for the division of employment security which collects these taxes.
I’m working I don’t need check just glad people unemployed getting money they will pass stimulus checks next year.
We need help now now. Not when they get good and. G. D. Ready. They lie play golf tweet and more vacations. Then more lies stealing and lying. Fir eight long months. Pelosi trump mc connel are a just greedy reprobates from the lowest element of society b
PUA expired at the end of July.
🐂💩💩
I just told my kids poor year sad
We the people maid sure all government eat what about us
Let’s be clear, Biden is not being elected yet to be the president, he’s just trying to still this election and that is a different story
We need a stimulus check not what They want to give us .It our taxes money we voted them investigated and see what going on we the people are tried of waiting starving impeachment them we need to stop paying there salary and put Nancy Pelosi and McConnell OUT and get some body for the people
And McConnell McScrooge already shot this plan down! And where are the stimulus checks for the American people who don’t have or aren’t able to get unemployment benefits! How do they survive
Somehow McConnell thinks it’s alright to help his business cronies with “welfare” aid to large corporations, but to people (majority 95%) who actually work and are laid off due to COVID-19, it’s a no-no and survival of the fittest.
I don’t think Trump will sign a bill before he is ordered out of the Whitehouse he is so darn a very at everyone because he lost the election
What???
How about America grows a set and quit running away from a virus that mostly effects the valuable. Open up America
Or they could just shut down America, and actually pay everyone and companies for a couple weeks to run the economy, and get the COVID infection rate under control. Major of us pay taxes, so they should put it in good use instead. They sure have money ready when corporations need it. 1 trillion dollars is nothing compared to us already losing $6 trillion already and Americans dying.
A lot of people think Covid killed the economy and thats not the case. The economy was already in serious trouble, Covid just exposed how fragile it was. The jobs and businesses lost arent coming back, and printing money and dispensing it cant last forever, and even if it could, it would render the currency worthless. Theres no painless way to dismantle this house of cards now. The only real solution is an economic and monetary reset. Unfortunately, this will give the powers that be even MORE control and power over our lives than they already have, and dont think for one minute that all this wasnt premeditated…
I have been playing euro million since i was 15 and i have never won and i decided to stop instead of i wasting my money in buying ticket. I met a friend in the train who told me that there is a great priest that can help win this lottery. He was so sure of it. I say let me give a try because i was so curious in becoming a millionaire so that flirt round bitches. I decided to give a try and he assure me in 24 hours i will get result and i went to buy ticket with the number he sent me and i did just that so for sure in time result was out and i was a winner of the highest draw of £56 million. I could not rejoice too much cause i was expecting this but was not sure if it really work but now that i have tested it and it work i will forever be grateful to this priest and my friend. When i went to show appreciation to him, he told me that he is here to help people who are in needs. The offer to show appreciation to the world is to spread his name across the world so that people will be helped and that is the reason i am online.. Do not waste time, the email is templeofpermanenthealings @ gmail. com and whatsapp number is +2348163083041 he is the only help you need
This is our taxpayers money The $1,200 stimulus check maybe the economy will get back together
mcconnell and pelosi need to be FIRED!!! lies lies lies. did everyone notice how fast he voted on his pay raise a few months ago? that’s right, the politicians all got raises for life in the last stimulus care package.
What about the people still waiting for they money iv been waiting for nine months all because DOL didn’t get my name right and still waiting
Your going to have a big check when you get your back pay
President elect is Trump..
I’ve given up on unemployment or stimulus. Other countries hate on America for a good reason. Corruption, greed, and not a single damn given about the American people. People will starve and go homeless, unable to find work, and the fat cats in the office will keep on filling their pockets with our tax dollars and funding big companies that are already overstuffed babies swollen to the brim with cash. Small businesses and good workers who are just down on their luck and unable to find a job have to fend for themselves while the rich keep on getting richer and the poor keep on getting poorer. I’ve been trying to find work since this pandemic began but thanks to my compromised immune system, I’ve been taken as more of a liability than a person of interest.
My own father worked himself to the bone and grossed 4,000 dollars, the government took half from him. Then after bills and food he barely had a fraction left over.
Why take half of everyone’s salaries if you’re not going to give that money back when they need it? How much un-spent relief money will they stuff up their own asses until they realize that people are starving to death and left to fend for themselves all winter with no heat or shelter? Go ahead gov. Keep on playing these sick games with the lives of good people like the heartless bastards you are.
Everyone should get $300 per week and suspend payroll tax
