Top negotiators from both parties spent Saturday on Capitol Hill working on a deal for the next round of coronavirus relief. For many families facing hardship, the $600 weekly payment for unemployed Americans that just ran out was a lifeline during the pandemic.

Unemployed Americans Anxious For Additional COVID Relief After $600 Payment Ends | NBC Nightly News
“My authority is total and I take no responsibility at all” – words muttered by an EPIC FAILURE and ENDORSED by the GOP controlled Senate.
Are you paying attention or just watching TV?
Oh God liberals LOVE collecting that unemployment
Let’s see how they like their $10 gallon of milk now that they’ve fkd the economy.
@American Scarelines and gas
Maybe if Democrats weren’t so keen to give illegal immigrants benefits as well, there’d be a deal?
What are we now or are we becomings bombs. Don’t they know this relief money take care of people and their necessities during a pandemic it goes right back into the economy. America has changed took my job because of a flu.😠
Blame Democrats
Why do these people need all this extra money? Lots of people got raises with the extra 600 per week.
Broke and sick😷is what we have to look forward to…..smh!
The good news is an election is around the corner. Just get rid of the madness. Problem solved.
Is it 600 dollars a week for a family.
What I dont understand is I know a few people who are in their 20s who have never held a job more than a few mo. At a time but since covid, they are collecting a $600 unemployment check while still living at home not starving & partying. Like the money is a free for all. That’s why the people who work the tails off are now being cut off benefits because of greedy people. Reminds me of a few Katrina victims buying drugs, alcohol & designer bags with FEMA $$$$
Americans never cared about the poor, the disabled or the homeless. So I have no sympathy for any of them. You lost your job, now your life sucks, welcome to the club. It needs to happen to everybody, that’s only fair.
China started it, but “Corona Don” perfected it. “Donald’s Disease” might go away in November, but only if the People aren’t fools.
I don’t understand how people can get unemployment or were getting unemployment and I was denied and force to come back to work
You’re complaining you have a job? 🙄
Guess were at the point where we should train ourselves and our kids by watching post apocalyptic movies to understand how our government is gradually making our country leading to that possibility. God help us.
I honestly feel like their just stalling for whatever the reason 😪
Republicans won’t hesitate to give trillions in tax cuts. To the wealthy rich, the 1%.
https://youtu.be/66Jhq-zGV88
Maybe be anxious to find a job.
Maybe everyone can protest by not going into work. 🙄
At least the average American has at least 75lbs. of survival fat to burn off. That should help.
But Wall Street is making a killing, so we should ALL be soooo freakin’ HAPPY, eh?
Republicans rejoice as the money runs out! Pure joy as homeless increase! Hunger grows makes republicans happy! They know they will be re-elected no matter what! Senators go on vacation!
Keeping Up with The Americans is always favourite reality show. New episode everyday🍿🍿
Never forget.
Sad very sad.
High percentage of Americans work an pay there taxis, know matter who in power should pay there unemployment benefits to the working class who run country financial an not forgetting those 30million poor people who have less than nothing.
This is a nightmare happening in real time
Great day to solve madame .
The president is golfing. He’s not even pretending to try anymore.
You’re being laid off, it’s because of Trump. You’re unemployed can’t find work, it’s because of Trump. Your business is closing, it’s because of Trump. You can’t pay your mortgage, lose your home, it’s because of Trump. You can’t pay rent, evicted, it’s because of Trump. You have nowhere to live, homeless living in your car, it’s because of Trump. You can’t buy groceries, rely on food stamps, food banks, it’s because of Trump. You’re late on all your bills, credit card bills…they’re calling you non stop, it’s because of Trump. You’ve become sick with covid, in the hospital, almost died with huge hospital bill, it’s because of Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Do not blame it on covid! Covid is a virus. It is the same virus in Italy, Germany, South Korea, Taiwan….and they all pulled through it. You are going through what you are going through because of the chief in command that you elected. He’s the one who said it will just disappear, ingest disinfectant, promote Goya beans, fight vs Dr. Fauci rather than fight vs covid. Trump. Trump. Trump! America, you created this monster by electing him ( and all his cronies in GOP ). Don’t pass blame. You created this monster by electing him to office! Fix it. VOTE HIM OUT! Vote all his GOP enabling cronies out! It will get Barr out too! Haven’t you suffered enough? You want 4 more WORSE YEARS!?
So sorry to see this in the USA .
I’m a limey with US friends and the thought of 1920s soup kitchens is looming on the horizon for many decent citizens.
Trump is a disaster for millions and is pulling the rug from under those who are the back bone of the USA.
Love the USA hate the self centred attitude of government and big business.
Distraction. Dr. Fauci, Dr. Birx and Robert Redfield are not telling anyone is that practically every VIP in Washington, D.C. is using HCQ prophylactically.
hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin and zinc, the 3-in-1 protocol provides the magic formula for almost anyone with coronavirus disease.
we the people need to rise up against this junk, they sit and play gods over our lives as they sit on their highfalutin RICH POCKETS getting paid to do NOTHING, how much longer are we the people going to continue to act like sheep saying “baa baa what do you want us to do” TIME TO STOP ASKING AND NOW TO START TELLING THEM WHAT WE WILL DO AND THEN DO IT go to work , get our lives back before we have no lives…stop saying BAA BAA
WE THE PEOPLE > TIME TO TAKE BACK OUR FREEDOMS
What you all gotta to do is vote out the orange monster at the WH. Vote for democrats. No longer sustainable to vouch for an idea that keeps saying you are on your own and govt is outta way. Life can have some unexpected events. We all have to insure against them. For that, the govt has to play a bigger role. It will have to for the future as well.
We all unemployed, period.
America, equal opportunity for all!😃
HAVE YOU ALL NOTICED HOW THEY ARE MANIPULATING YOU INTO FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER INSTEAD OF AGAINST THEM AS A UNITED FRONT > RISE UP WE THE PEOPLE AND TAKE BACK YOUR RIGHTS TO LIVE FREE, UNITE TOGETHER TO TELL THEM NO MORE OF YOUR PLAYING gods
COVID IS MOST LIKELY ALL A SHAM A FAKE! AT THE VERY LEAST THE STUPID
DEMOCRATS AND EVEN MANY REPUBLICANS MUST WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT AT THE
VERY LEAST IT IS NOWHERE NEAR AS BAD AS THE MEDIA KEEPS TRYING TO
BRAINWASH PEOPLE’S MINDS WITH THE SAME FEAR MONGERING NEWS DAILY!! EVEN
THE CDC ADMITTED MORE THAN HALF THE CASES AT THE VERY LEAST ARE FAKE
CASES! “ITS A FALSIFIED OUTBREAK”! STOP WATCHING THE LYING FAKE
MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA! MANY PEOPLE WHO FILLED OUT APPLICATIONS, BUT
NEVER ACTUALLY TOOK THE TEST ARE BEING CALLED TO BE TOLD THEY TESTED
POSITIVE LOL!!! WHAT A JOKE!!
every one of them is bring home a pay check most of us could live on for at least 6 months what they make in one month
She’s an H.R. Cancel Culture social warrior who “never expected to be unemployed in her life”, as if that is an essential contribution to our society. Entitled much?
This is beyond disrespectful to Americans. Playing with our Sanity! Extend it! The virus is worst then ever! Yet they don’t want to
IF THE REPUBLICAN DOESN’T EXTEND THE $600 BOOST THEY CAN KISS THEIR RE ELECTION CHANCES GOOD BYE. IT WILL BE A DEMOCRAT BLOWOUT IN THE SENATE, THE HOUSE AND THE WHITE HOUSE.
THE U.S NEEDS TO CONTAIN THE VIRUS FIRST THEN REOPEN THE ECONOMY
BUT THE U.S WANTS TO OPEN THE ECONOMY AND CONTAIN THE VIRUS LATER WHICH IS STUPID.
THE U.S HAS FAILED, SHUT DOWN THE COUNTRY AND START OVER AGAIN.
Democrats frauded mail in Covid 19 tests now they want mail in election
They just don’t care
What about stimulus checks
as long as nancy gets her 20 dollar a pint ice cream, regular americans can starve
Lmao, no responsibility. Just blame.lol
and who rejected the stimulus package? democrats! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsVNzbz4fp8
trying to make trump look bad by injecting golf into this piece shows the fake news of this media organization, you fools
Mhm so their letting go hr reps now. Wonder why my store manager said their above New York state when asked what’s happens if theirs another shut down and I’m only “seasonal”, mhmm so I guess no hazard pay even tho they made the decision to allow customers without masks to enter the store and employees must wear it at all times……Lowes your digging yourself a hole that no hr rep can save you. I’ll just wait till you cut the check for me.
NERO FIDDLED WHILE ROME BURNED ! Trump doesn’t even try to pretend he cares ! His fat azz is playing golf! smh
They complain about the Dems but it’s the Republicans delaying stuff, the Dems proposal has sat on Mitch McConnells desk for over 2 months, 2 months!!!!!
Americans invest in China, then complain about unemployment. And Biden’s son has a company in China.
Politicians are looser of humanity!!!
“Alot of work to do” really means there’s alot of Americans to take down
Sarah, I detect some judgement about people who are on unemployment. There are a million reasons people need unemployment. It is a protective factor for us. Things happen.
The Dems are child molesting, criminals loyal to a global sovereignty!
I wish we could stop government employees from getting paid.
Anyone that comments on the, “Trump playing Golf”, is a sucker that the media can manipulate with a word and a pic!
These are the people that are in the left cult!
Oh, she was in HR. Now getting a taste of that bitter bark!
Ivanka Trump: Find something else!
bread lines
Covid scare tactics.
Scam from the left and media.
Less Talk and more action. Pelosi talks like she cares but wont come to an agreement. Her and Mitch fighting like cats n dogs smh please leave our country. You both have done enough harm to us taxpayers
🆘 Remember Communist China 🇨🇳 gave the world Chinese coronavirus. President Trump 🇺🇸 has done a great job in the United States working at fixing this nightmare. Boycott all China made products that’ll send communist China leadership a message. 👎
What about the people on workman comp they have it the worse right now they didn’t get 600 not once
I bet… They never had it so good.
I dont owe anyone anymore because of, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*

Peace of mind and heart Republicans and Democrats have to make a deal $600 a week until December if vaccine arrives we will work and return back to work companies needs to be reopen si we can work safe sincerely adriana
Best way to protect yourself is to obey God and pay your tiths
😭
PLEASE extend to ALL Americans $4,000/Month stimulus ( direct to bank accounts )! Make Americans spend ALL the money every month to get another $4,000/Month to rejuvenate the economy paying bills, self entrepreneurship, starting online at home businesses, and paying for medical expenses!!!!!! This country is going to get very scorched once Americans end up broke, homeless and raging angry! Lift Americans up by pumping money into American hands to get creative and avoid covid19 at the same time! Americans will not die for corrupt businesses!!!!
Vote all these nasty evil republicans out of the senate for not helping Americans during their time of need
My paycheck every 2 weeks is $300. These lazy bums on unemployment get $1,200 every 2 weeks. It really bothers me that this goes on.
TRUMP THE SNAKE-OIL SALESMAN IS BACK. This one has a fancy name, hydroxy-oil, and he desperately wants us to believe it prevents or cures (or something!) the Covid-19 virus. There’s heaps of scientific evidence that this snake-oil does no such thing but Trump insists that he knows better than any scientist.
He bought tons of it with our money while possibly pocketing a hefty commission from the seller, but he can’t even give it away. He would have us believe that he’s tried it on himself but nobody else in his family has; nor have any of his Fake-GOP whores, or his menagerie, or his Faux News cheer-leaders. Ivanka posed with Trump’s can of beans but not with Trump’s packet of hydroxy-oil pills. LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!
If your reading or writing about this wack video… GET A LIFE!!!
WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA SHOULD PROTEST THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM WHICH IS OLD & OBSOLETE IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE !!!!
It sucks that we work so hard n politicians on vacation spending our hard money. This is a slave world no matter how u put it. I used to be a farmer. We r all slaves waiting to die. Be blessed every one
WE ARE NOT THE PROPERTY OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. WE NO LONGER ACCEPT BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED OR TAKEN FOR A RIDE BY THE LIBERAL LEFT. WE ARE A FREE PEOPLE. What’s happening to our country?Democratic candidate Joe Biden, actually said to the African American community , that if we don’t vote for them, then we ain’t black. That’s the party that has taken us for granted, as if we are somehow beholding to them, for our own lives. This is a party with a slavery past. Check it out for yourselves and you will see the roots of this political party. They’re not for us, they simply need our vote. That’s where their solidarity ends.The Democratic Party has even put illegal aliens rights and concerns, before African American citizens born in this country. Their party has moved so far to the left, there’s no more place to go, but socialism. To the Democratic Party, NO LIVES MATTER. more THAN THEIR OWN selfish ambitions.They are out to take away our personal freedom, our religious beliefs, our right to our own opinion, and our right to free speech. The Democratic Party is NO LONGER ” DEMOCRATIC”, BUT SOCIALIST. They will not ever have my vote again
go back to work if you can this money will be gone after election no matter who wins
All the comments about Trump playing golf. Remember people Trump donates his pay check. The people doing the negotiating on the stimulus act is Pelosi, Schumer, Meadows and Mnuchin. Trump told the negotiators what he wanted, those being – payroll tax cut, FBI building, bigger and better stimulus check for the people. He has not gotten any of that. Recently in order to not allow the 600 unemployment to remain in effect and in order to stop evictions, he ask for a one week extension bill to continue to negotiate, and Pelosi and Schumer would not agree. And now everyone has a gripe for him playing golf. Get real people. Did something real to gripe and downgrade our President.
Nope! No short term. Republicans had 10 weeks and just let bill sit.They knew american people have been suffering and did not discuss anything. 5000.00 for working one time payment yearly if covid continues and either 2400.00 stimulus recurring and dependents and retro to March 27 and let states pay the state unemployment. Or 600.00 a week UI and 2400.00 one time stimulus and 1200.00 per dependent. They have to make the employed and unemployed HAPPY or risk themselves being unemployed Nov 3rd. Trump looking like the caring one who wants more for people.They had 10 weeks to do something for people. Trump will somehow come out the hero maybe he will issue executive order for treasury to send out money if he can because he is thinking reelection?
Meanwhile, US billionaires have increased their wealth by 584 billion since March of this year amidst a global economic shutdown.. What can we logically conclude from that ?
Come on! This is such a MESS! You lockdown with benefits, re-open with diminished benefits, with regulations (restaurant business WA State), and make it so NO ONE wants to go out, cases are rising, and yet, STILL no benefits–Many making well under $15 an hour, and requiring them to find supplemental work, of which isn’t as plentiful due to the back & forth of Pandemic regulations! This is WRONG
IF Civilians can’t get Paid .. politicians can’t get paid it’s only fair let them see how we are struggling .
The Republicans held this bill up… remember that… vote out Mitch … Biden 2020
Well, I guess I have a minority opinion, but she’s pushing a couple kids and probably lives in expensive house. All you had was that one job?? THAT is what was supporting so many Americans their fake, busy-work, jobs. Most jobs can do without the person doing them. How many people were paid to surf the internet all day from their cubicle. I don’t know. I can not feel sorry for someone expecting the government to bail them out. Don’t have kids if you expect the government to give you checks.
Pelosi is mainly responsible for the countries neglect . Donald Trump has done an incredibly good job in America. It’s tough to see that because democrats keep throwing pure evil in everyone’s faces. The corrupt should be ripped from their homes , and their bank assets hacked to 0 and themselves cast outside as homeless. Gangs of New York anyone??????
Good day, do you know if properly registered voters, if recently evicted from their residences, will still be able to vote in the November election? Thank you for your response.
1:37 what happens next ? MORE GOLF duh !!!
Hi people are you like your kids more? If yes then please don’t send them in school least this year… please 🙏🙏🙏
What the USA urgently needs is independent election monitoring by the United Nations. Otherwise TRump will betray you and destroy your votes. Stay strong go voting
Republicans wait until the unemployment benefits expire to come up with a bill, and debate on it. Might be time to check the soulless monsters.
