want to bring down unemployment benefits they believe it is too high and disincentivizes people not to go to work again, but they forget one thing, a lot of people do not have jobs to go back to at the moment.

I can understand thinking 600 is too much, but 200 is too little.

400 seems good

Yeah the $600, while nice for people who get it and I wouldn't turn it down--just shows that politicians have no idea how much money that is, lol.

They really should address a way to get some back pay to everyone who was either working the entire time or only laid off briefly who were definitely not making unemployment +600 a week. A lot of those "essential workers" were at fast food places and stocking grocery shelves, they probably only make like half of what the people who could stay at home on unemployment were.

It has been a bit frustrating, not gonna lie.

They will pass it. Dems don't want to seem like the people delaying the stimulus checks.

If you think unemployed people are getting too much money, then maybe the employed are being paid too little.

I'm pretty sure the house passed their version of the bill ~10 weeks ago. They aren't the ones delaying things at all.

Yep good point. The average us mortgage is like $1,200. So a lot of the UI is just going to place where you can LIVE.

we really need to stop calling this a stimulus. it's a bribe, intentionally designed to keep people from going back to work when they don't have to. with the intent to slow and reverse the spread of the fucking plague that's rampaging across the country.

But you see if we paid workers more than the wealthy CEOs would have to make less and we can't have that.
