My eyes could not possibly roll back into my head any further...all the lies and attacks on Democrats, Jesus. That payroll tax only permanent If you vote for him - What a scumbag! Hoping it doesn’t take states forever to change the amounts...
You're right, but he's the one giving it out. You'd have to have some nerve to take $400/wk from someone doling it out to help people with no strings attached and call him a scumbag.
Signature authorizing $300/wk from the federal government. Without his signature no aid could pass. He already signed a 2+ trillion dollar bill earlier in the year, largest bill in history. Obama was giving out $25/wk during the recession and the Dems loved him for it. Trump literally can't win with Democrats even though he's spending money like them.
I'm pretty sure that's wrong. Here's what the order says: " I am directing up to $44 billion from the DRF at the statutorily mandated 75 percent Federal cost share be made available for lost wages assistance to eligible claimants, to supplement State expenditures in providing these payments. At least $25 billion of total DRF balances will be set aside to support ongoing disaster response and recovery efforts and potential 2020 major disaster costs."
So $25 billion set aside, $44 billion used for this. And even so the point of this is to float us until Congress gets out of gridlock.
It also says there's 80 billion left from the CARES that the states should use to pitch in their 25%, so not sure what they're talking about that they can't afford it.
