2nd stimulus didn't happen

I don't believe in it but I follow it just to watch our elected adults act like little kids. Just a mere $1 trillion apart on an agreement. Now Congress goes on recess since they've worked so hard.

Resess they should get detention or kicked out is better

Writing a bad check isn’t a stimulus it’s a crime in my view

^^^^ Yup

I'm very happy about the outcome. Keep in mind that the unemployed still get a regular unemployment check from their state of residence, just not an additional bonus from the federal gov for not working. I was in Tractor Supply today and they had a help wanted add out front. Folks need to go back to work.

I’m sure there are people that work that are out of work but a lot do not deserve it. I did not need it or wanted it but I put it in savings was not going to throw it away. I pay enough taxes each year.

The stimulus checks and additional UI benefits financed a lot of the rioting.

Democrats were never going to let it pass from the beginning. The threw so much extra stuff into the bill that they knew the republicans couldn't vote for it. They wanted it to fail to use it to blame the republicans before the election and the media will back their story.

Mine went to pay my income tax, but it was a dollar short.



Charlie

Truth right there , let everyone know how companionate they are , knowing full well that it would not pass

A 1200 dollar check will feed a rioter for how long ??

They have food cards for that

They can buy some weed , a couple cases of spray paint , a new iPhone , and a new skateboard

Good. It's welfare. So are unemployment checks.

Good riddance to something else we'd have to pay for later

Stop buying votes Donnie, Chucky and Nancy

Unemployment isn't welfare. It's insurance that we all pay for. Unlike welfare, unenjoyment only lasts so long. It's for people that had jobs, not bums that didn't

Actually employers pay the UI , not employees

I'm sure the weed, spray paint and probably the i phone are already provided -- that 1200 can be used for necessities like guns and ammo

Locally, most grocery, hardware and general stores as well as bars and restaurants have been unable to hire people they vitally need. When people are paid half their regular pay, plus $600.00 to stay home, so most make considerably more than they do working, few if any will go back to work before they absolutely have to.

Keith

If their jobs are offered back to them and they refuse re- employment,they will lose their unemployment benefits.
Tom

True, but the unemployed are not taking the multitude of other jobs that are available. A huge number of companies are hiring due to Covid-19, including cleaning services, grocery stores, hardware stores, companies that ship packages and security companies and they can't find the people they desperately need because people are being paid more to stay home, than the businesses can afford to pay.

Keith

When you add in $800+ a week unemployment payment it will feed them for quite a while.

It’s driving me crazy that I can’t get “cleared” to return to working.

The "insurance" is funded by payroll taxes paid by employers. I expect it will have to be supplemented with additional funds because of the large number of claims. So, more taxes paid by me (I kept working and haven't laid off any employees) and others who kept working or found another job.

Welfare.

Based on all the "Help Wanted" signs around here and all the ads on the radio of companies looking for workers, I'd have to say unemployment isn't the problem

I wonder if a person can claim safety issues from the virus for not coming back to work and keeping the benefits.

Pennsylvania (my state) is one of three states where both employers and employees pay Unemployment Insurance taxes.

Like most self-employed business owners, I get to pay into the system but am not eligible to collect from it. From my prospective that makes it welfare. For employees paying in to the system I would say they earned the right to collect.

My opinion only applies to standard UI rates. The additional $600.00 is straight up welfare.

Yes they can, they can claim they or someone they live with feels sick and keep collecting.

Happened here at the Quarry i retired from 1/3 of the workforce either stayed or went on layoff this April citing safety reasons This is the most crucial and labor intensive part of the shipping season But i imagine the company filed for lost revenue

Sorry 330 no pics

It will happen,sooner or later.It's an election year,the two parties couldn't agree on how much,as usual the democrats went way overboard with their demands.Whether it's an executive order or they come back and iron it out,whether we like it or not another stimulus is coming.

good, i didnt think the 1st one shoulda passed.

It's the first time in human history that a pandemic and its subsequent economic crisis has been fueled by a political party and its fatal agenda. They will continue to do everything in their power to extend the misery into November. They never had any intention of passing a 2nd stimulus.

Well, aren't you a Negative Nancy!

But you are correct, they need to promote crisis to seem important.

So no $1200 stimlous or possibly later after recess ? I hope so, could use extra cash. For savings. Stock up, for all antis against it an all negative comments I well get for posting this, all I can say, is u got probly 500 k in bank an against. Anyone that poorer of get stimlous. An u got money to throw out ground an burn, idk go ahead an cut me down with ur negative posts against me now

Welcome back Coonman. I'm sure there will eventually be something passed, but all the give-aways are why our country is in the shape it's in.
I read that Pelosi's demand for mail-in voting was one reason for the hold-up.

coonman you were on my list along with Beav to possibly give my next free printed money to. However, IMO you are one of those people who have a spending problem, not a revenue problem, so giving you money will never solve your problem.

It sounds iffy of get a stimlous. Check, a chance it , but if trump does something soon to extend ui or prevent evictions. The u tube vid I watch say. That no more $1200 stimlous, also say that likely the Dems an republics are done talk about deal for good. A $1200 stimlous would help everyone, buy a expensive exhaust manifold an ask questions. About it an other stuff on vechile a spend problem, it a expensive nesscaity, I don't see how ppl can afford live. If not for 1st stimlous. An ui for while, I be totaly broke an doubt be posting anything now. Probly no phone. As much as things cost nowadays. An how lil cheap wages are for kind work do with amount taxes took out check

coonman you have smart phone? I don't, but I'm not broke waiting for free money either.

Just in my very small circle, I hear about a whole bunch of this extra unemployment benefit being abused. I can’t imagine what’s going on Nationwide.

Nothing I can do about it. I'm just focused on getting through summer (the worst part of the year for me), and into fall. Bowhunting starts next month and it wont be long until trapping starts.

Thanks Dirt. I could use another $1200 and the first 2400 Is still In the bank. I don't need It but I would never look a gift horse In the mouth.

Keith

We're all gonna have to add that "stimulus" money to our income on our 2020 tax returns....and pay taxes on it.

I saved 50% just for that reason.

I heard that It was tax free money.

Why should it be tax free? It was a gift from the rest of us. If you got a check, you're welcome.

If so, I'm getting new golf clubs next year.

If you didn't get a check--maybe you made to much money.And those that got a check and should --thank themselves,not just you.
Tom

Well I deserved It I need a new roof on the fur shed. The house also needs a new roof but the fur shed takes priority.

Good news for me!!! I got a letter from the IRS saying my tax preparer made an error on our forms. We will be getting an extra $250 and it should arrive by September...7 months after we filed!!!

U don't have to pay tax on $1200 stimlous, I can't imagine goverment do that

Just saw during the news conference that the POTUS is trying to stick landlords with deadbeat tenants. When Wisconsin's crypt keeper did this in March it cost me thousands with a new tennant that immediately ceased paying rent.

This guy is turing more and more into a socialist.

Hopefully Biden will be terrible enough that the GOP comes up with a viable candidate and we take the WH back in 2024.

I, personally, know of a landlord here in MN that has evicted 3 non-paying tenants in the last two weeks. In every case, the tenants stopped paying rent, even though they were still fully employed. Don't just assume the deadbeats are getting a free ride if they are still getting paid.

Oh absolutely! That was our case too. He eas still working amd working even more more. But as soon as he heard in his hears he didnt have to pay rent he didn't. We sent notice as soon as we could at the end of May. Took all June to get him out and July to fix the place up (typical) and got someone in last weekend.

I'm sure you'd be proud of Biden no matter what.

Sorry if you dont see that Donny is a socialist....

Ho hum

It wasn't a gift from you and it wasn't from me. It's from our grandchildren.




Is that the best argument you can make? It's true,.

Trump is a socialist about as much as Biden is Mother Teresa.

Deepest apologies to all Catholics for putting Biden and Mother Teresa in the same sentence.

Steven49er, my response was not to you. When Obama entered into office, I think the debt was $8 trillion. Now we're at $27 trillion or so. Our Grandchildren will only pay interest on
50-60-70 trillion or more. I don't claim to be an expert.

Wouldn't Socialists be politicians? Trump is a businessman, not a politician. He only applied for the job to save us from Hillary for 4 years. He made every politician in Washington hate him, including Republicans, so he must be doing something right for the people.

Whichever too productive members of present or future society should be thanked by those celebrating a government handout like a bunch of welfare queens. And Trump is their socialist king, for now.

I bet eventually we will see a reset, a currency change, and your grandchildren wont have to pay anything back. Its all fake fiat currency anyway. Illusion.

Bs,they submit it.They do not pay for it.

Even though he cut taxes he is fiscally socialist.He was the best option we had in 16 and he's the best we have in 2020. There will never be an attempt to curtail runaway deficits.

Blaine, the biggest benefactor of the stimulus packages and money printing by the FED(they aren't the same) will be corporate America and Wall street.

Ultimately, yes. Agree.

He was/is the less bad option.

I sure hope he wins. The liberals will go off the rails and some cities may burn but we need to replace Ginsburg

I reckon we'll all see some unforeseen events happening down the road.

Figured as a benefit so yes you are paying for it

Of the two, I agree.

Lol

Having owned a business in Minn. we paid in 10s of 1000s of dollars for UI to the state. The good news is we only had one person collect in 25 years, wonder where my money went.

Not me. I don't even accept stimulus checks. Maybe coonman?

Guess again cowboy
