    Exclamation Trump tells GOP not to bother with any more help for unemployed Americans

    Trump opposes extending the added $600 in unemployment insurance Congress created to help offset coronavirus job losses.

    In a private lunch with Republican senators on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Donald Trump voiced his opposition to continuing the $600 weekly increase to unemployment insurance Congress passed to help workers who lost jobs thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Washington Post reported.

    Trump is following the lead of Senate Republicans, who have been opposed to the payments since Congress first passed them in March. All but two GOP senators voted to strip the $600 weekly unemployment insurance boost from the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package, though their effort failed.

    Republicans at the time said it's wrong to pay some workers more in unemployment benefits than they were receiving before the pandemic hit, claiming it would discourage Americans from seeking work.

    "You can extend some assistance, but you don’t want to pay people more unemployed than they'd make working. You should never make more than your actual wages," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) — who led the unsuccessful effort to strip the unemployment insurance boost from the relief package — told the Post.

    the money that the feds gave the states for unemployment assistance has not all been spent yet......

    Republicans and Trump oppose this because they think it will cause the economy to open up more slowly. Ironically, the exact opposite is true. There is no better 'stimulus' for the economy than unemployment benefits.

    Why would you pay people more than their job already paid? The answer isn't more unemployment it's to open the country back up so we don't need unemployment benefits.

    That is possibly the single most moronic statement I have heard in my tenure here. I have to review some stuff by jarod, evince, polisquawker, LV426 and some other loonies here, but you are definitely in the running! Congrats, idiot!!

    Brilliant comeback, troll. Do you have anything intelligent to say on the topic, or do you want to talk about me all day?

    Why do you suppose that Republicans and Trump oppose extending this unemployment benefit? Maybe instead of trolling me you should make some attempt, however lame, to answer that question. After all, that's the topic of the thread. It isn't about me.

    What we need is an FDR moment- of course it most likely won't happen under Brain-Child!
