I'm concerned. Trump, GOP have no interest in a new deal & unemployment insurance

[themaguffin]

This is going to be devastating.

They know that the trump can't win, so instead of like 2009 where the GOP obstructed, they are starting early with the scorched Earth.

They don't care that this will hurt millions of Republican voters eithers (why would they, those dumb asses are still sending Biden memes).

I'm looking for work and additional Federal money helped a lot during this time. My wife could very well lose her job next month.

This is insanity.

1. Yep! Their brains work differently from ours.

4. I've got mine

Just let them eat cake!

9. They literally live on another planet

[Iliyah]

2. They will be very soon since they are the cause of the

failed economy and job loses.

[SoonerPride]

3. They want to steal as much as they can and leave a huge wreak for Joe

Scorched earth indeed

And then whine about deficits as Biden works to clean up their mess

5. I'm unemployed. My weekly benefit just dropped from $767 to $167, less the Fed $.

My wife is laid off, being paid “idle time” at $450 a week from her job as a cosmetologist. She had gone back to work, but the salon was shut down again a few weeks ago by order of Gov Newsom. Her employer has indicated that they may discontinue the idle time pay. That means she’d be back on unemployment at $256 a week without the additional Fed $600 benefit.

$1200 a week is a lot to give up as a couple when your rent is $3200 a month. $423 a week on CA benefits alone, or $1623 a week with the Fed benefits. What’s more liveable?

7. Desperate people with

No relief in sight will accept low,low wages and no benifiets. The corporate pigs want labor to be like it is in China,here.

That's why the rethugs refuse to help the people.

8. It's simple: Republicans serve only the interests of business and the wealthy.

That's the core of their mentality and it's been that way as long as I can recall. Everything else they say is bullshit or a diversion.

They do not believe government serves the interests of business and the wealthy except for military and police protection of their assets.

It's just that simple.

I wish you and your family the best in surviving this national disaster. We're all in this together.

11. That is the plan

They plan on making things as bad as they can and blame Biden on 1/20/2021.

[CousinIT]

12. They've SAID that. 20 GOP senators and Ron Johnson just said it.

They "don't want to spend anymore money" on this. They believe it's a waste.

SAVING LIVES, SAVING PEOPLE'S HOMES, SAVING THE USPS, SAVING SOCIAL SECURITY IS A "WASTE" TO THEM.

They have no interest in it.

The ONE thing Republicans want to save: THEMSELVES and their billionaire donors.

[Still Sensible]

13. Trump and the GOP have a very important interest

unless they just want to throw in the 2020 towel.

Those immediately spent $600 subsidies and the one-time $1,200 checks, also quickly spent, helped keep the economy from complete collapse. Of course the questionable moves of the Fed, the not-well-supervised PPP, also have artificially protected tRump's precious economy.

With those extra supplements not flowing it would only get worse. I believe this administration has already screwed the pooch--so long as we get the vote out and protect the integrity of the vote.

I'm pretty sure if these measures aren't renewed and all those indicators get worse, tRump and the Greedy Old Pustules will surely be--what's the technical term? Oh yeah, royally fucked!

And they know it!

14. Repugs don't give fuck. Selfishness is a trait with them. nt
