Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to unemployed, "Fuck you!"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday that the Trump administration wants to cap enhanced unemployment benefits in the next coronavirus package to make sure workers do not get benefits amounting to more than their former wages.

Under the coronavirus bill enacted in March, workers, to encourage compliance with stay-at-home orders, received as much as $600 per week in addition to their regular unemployment benefits, which critics say encouraged the jobless to not look for work.

“You can assume it will be no more than 100%, so, yes, we want to incent people to go back to work,” Mnuchin told the cable channel CNBC.

The House has passed legislation that would extend the $600 in extra weekly payments until December.

Let's see you live on that Mnuchin. You probably spend that much just for lunch.

8. Cutting these benefits in any will nuke what's left of the economy.

Without that disposable income, revenues will plummet nationwide (which will lead to layoffs), mortgages and rent won't get paid, and belts will tighten.

Republicans can't govern to save their lives.

9. You would think they would at least be looking out for their own political interests.

We all know they don't give a damn about people.

Unless, of course, they plan to cheat.

Wait, that can't be, can it? Would they really do that?

7. If the $600 benefits act as a disincentive to find work

why did the economy create so many jobs last month? Republicans never know what the fuck they're talking about.

They just don't want the peons to get a taste of the wages they SHOULD be making.
