That additional $600 in UI Benefits ended 6 weeks ago. That's $3600 a person - gone.

Where are the Rs? On vacation.

Where is tRump? Providing a one-time $900 benefit to SOME on unemployment.

Where are the Ds? Well, they passed the Heroes Act in May. That act provided that the $600 added benefit continue to at least Jan 31, 2021. That would have guaranteed that every American on unemployment would have received a little under $20,000 from the Feds by February. The Heroes Act also provided for UI benefits to be adjusted based on unemployment numbers in each state, so there’s every chance that $600 benefit would have continued past Jan.

And, it provided direct payments of $1200 to EVERY American.

Who loves America and who hates the American people?

noticeable at your local Retailer. Inventories are way out of balance,to much stuff to little purchase. And the big lay offs are about to start. Not just Corporate,but State and Local.
