$96,000 a year for a family of 4? What’s that like $700+ billion a month?

You see, some politicians just have a pathological necessity of destroying America.

If there was ever a doubt that some in the government absolutely want the people to depend on the government, surely this ends that pretense, right?

It's coming if Biden/Sanders/Michelle/etc. get elected. Many states are trying to guarantee it.

Never miss an opportunity to buy votes. Thats all this is. It is not needed and we already have done too much. The extra $600 piled on unemployment was in itself outrageous. We now have people sitting at home drawing over twice their working income. WTF about that makes any sense?

An extra $600 is allowing someone to make twice their working income? What job does this person have and how would any person have ever lived off of that to begin with? You got a link to this claim? We are well on our way to over 20% unemployment and potentially 40% of all small businesses going under, saying we've "done enough" for these people is gross. We more than did enough bailing out every multinational corporation that I will agree with you on.

It is 600 a week on top of their unemployment.

So roughly 3400 a month, that's a sweet deal for sitting at home watching TV or playing video games. No gas expense traveling to and from work, no 1o-15 bucks a day on lunches, no day care expenses for the little ones. Hell, sign me up. Oh wait, I'm semi retired, nm...

Yes. I filed for unemployment 2 weeks ago due to our vendors being shut down due to C19. We will run next week but probably will again file in a couple of weeks. Ive been advised Ill get my unemployment + $600 from the feds. It takes about 2 weeks to receive benefits the first time you file. I expect ill get my card early next week. Im having taxes taken out so they gobble up 28%. Basically...I took a two week paid vacation. Im pissed at this policy..but..You can damn sure believe Ill get what I can out of it like everyone else.

There are lots of people in the country that make minimum wage and around 300 per week. I don't pay schlubs off the street anything but minimum wage..$7.25..until they prove themselves to be worthy of more (usually 3 month probationary period)...so yes someone can make more than double on unemployment with this policy.

In NC it would be 3800....350max unemployment+600. I guess after taxes around 2700 net. I imagine many of these folks taking this are not having taxes taken out. Look out next year hearing them whine about getting no refunds due to this mistake.

No, it's worse. It's $2000 a month per person, including children, for any person who makes less than $120K a year.

For a couple with 2 kids at home, that's $96K a year. Until the coronovirus is gone.

He means the current temporary unemployment checks that gives an extra $600 per week

I'd get 10 grand per month. That after a $3,900 stimulus check, a $4,000 tax refund, and my wife is taking the $600 per week unemployment even though she is a stay at home mom that had a side gig that brought us in maybe $100 extra per month... and Im still working. Im paying off my mortgage with a wheel barrow full of worthless $100 bills. Already got a new deck, new matress, new washer and dryer, ceiling fans installed in several rooms, and I've never had this much disposable spending money sitting in my checking account in my life. This is ridiculous.

Part time employees.

I know some one who was going to be working part time as a server that is now getting $675 a week in unemployment benefits

That's correct, some people are bringing in as much as $1,000/week to do nothing.

They're living the high life right now, but that is going to cut off in August I believe, and imagine how bad the min./low wage job market is going to be when they are all forced back in at the same time.

How about those that have outgrown the 'entry-level' phase use their transferrable skills & find a job that pays more than minimum?

I get that. Old news. Did you read the OP link that this thread is about? What they are proposing now is worse. $2000 a month per person (even for kids) until who knows, lol.

That would boost our economy tremendously and alleviate much suffering.
