    They shouldn't give more stimulus money. The $600 a week was too much. People were refusing to go back to work and who can blame them.

    U seem like a republican.

    Useless ass wall, sure we can waste money.
    Trillion dollar tax cut for the rich. Sure its okay.

    But when it comes to giving out some money to those in need and those deeply impacted by the pandemic, u btch and moan about debt deficit, quite disgusting. The pandemic is still ongoing.

    There are people hurting out there and you say 600 is too much.... WOW!!!!

    The people hurting didn't ask to be out of work and how are they going to go back? Its not like Covid disappeared when the summer came.

    I know you love Trump, great for you... But the people that needed that money are Americans... Not blue or red...

    The unemployment rate is still high but not that high. People are always unemployed 6.7% is not abnormal

    The $600 a week, $2,400 a month was on top of regular benefits. Do you think we should always do that? Why there is unemployment, covid, shouldn't dictate the amount

    He sounds like a moron. The $600 boost ended in July for unemployment. The $600 now is just a one time check and the boost is just $300 for 11 weeks. But as always logic eludes him...

    Once more u Republicans don't bat an eye when it comes to sht that doesn't benefit everyone. STUPID ASS WALL AND TAX CUT FOR THE WEALTHY.

    But when it comes to everybody else u btch and moan about debt deficit. Y do u even care if people get a little bit more help especially during a fkin pandemic? Businesses or mega church can apply for Cornavirus relief ptogram, but when its comes to the lower class we don't deserve it? Fk off, even the orange one is demanding the repub to increase it to 2k.

    Can always count on repubs to have debt-javu when it comes to the lower class.

    Talking about Walmart subsidizing their workers pay with tax money. Have you ever though about one of the ways it is subsidized?? One is food stamps, and where would be a convenient place to use the card to get free food? Well Walmart of course after you clock out lol. So they essentially double dip. It’s flat out ridiculous how that works for Walmart.

    You can not be correct.

    I read on The Internet that the $600 is weekly and forever. No one will ever work again!!!

    trumpism... when the attorney general for a state requests the federal government NOT provide much needed pandemic relief money to citizens of his own state because... he was butthurt about trump losing. The real reason, I am sure, is he is still trying to convince trump to giving him a pardon.

    Texas attorney general asked Trump administration to revoke COVID relief funds for Harris County

    Its sad that u think helping the poor during a pandemic by giving more cash is wrong. if u can't see y then idk.

    If we could afford using money on a stupid ass wall, or tax cut for the wealthy, we could help the poor out. It's that simple.

    Like what's the problem with us giving more money to people during a pandemic? Don't b bringing up the fking debt deficit as an excuse.

    Repubs always btch and whine about free hand out, but they are usually the one first in line/benefits the most.

    What a stupid ass question. What's the difference between a pandemic vs normal life. like what r u even asking? Do u not see how people's life are impacted by the pandemic? Do u not see how restaurants are forced to resort to only take-outs. jeezus christ. we get it u don't like to give out free hand outs to people during a time of need during a pandemic.

    Oh and guess what now, thanks to the republicans if u get sick from Covid, businesses do not have pay you for sick leave anymore. Another fine moment for the sht republican party.

    And u are wrong. Tax cut is part of the economy which is the thread, stop moving goal posts.

    There is always unemployment. 6.7% is not a bad rate so what makes it worthy of more stimulus? There was a need in the beginning but the stimulus was more about saving the economy. Thats what stimulus is for

    Restaurants are back open. The economy is open

    dude go look up what a pandemic is if u think unemployment lifestyle is the same during a pandemic and normal. Stop troutin the unemployment rate like it means something. Are u saying that when the pandemic hit, nothing happen and it was all a big fat hoax? COVID STILL FKING EXISTS, life isn't returning back to normal anytime soon.

    Restaurants were always open, but most are take-out exclusive. U can't do dine-in CAUSE ITS STILL NOT SAFE.
    Im just gonna stop talking to u, can't convince what I presume is a republican mindset, once they are set can't fix them.

    Not all businesses are back open. Several have gone under and many are not operating anywhere near at full capacity or staffing.

    This idea that expended unemployment led to a crisis of employment as more people chose not to work isn't really supported. We wouldn't have anti-lockdown protests demanding that people be allowed to go back to work if that was the case.
