Well, I see one Republican governor is “considering it”. Just give me a list of all the rest of the Republican governors that are ready to hop on board and we’re good to go.
First thing I would want to see is how those states have spent the money they have already been given and why they have not spent money if they haven’t.
The 2nd thing is what have they cut to address their projected budget shortfalls?
Anything with “global warming” gets cut right off the bat.
Yes. So was the Republican one. BOTH were Garbage.
And you know as well as i do Trump is the head of Goverment and the head of the Republican Party. He could have used his power of the pulpit to push the senate to act for the last 3 months.
And i have no idea what you started rambling about on personal info on a database etc…
A National Testing stratadgy is what is needed. Nothing to do with a national database with wide open access.
"Although I did read one study that said the way its written - States could simply count the $100 most on UE already get as their 25% and unemployed could get $300 without costing the state anything extra.
Yesterday in the two WH press briefings my take away was the states also know full well the particular legalities of the “trigger” here is 1st and foremost them applying for this unemployment aid state by state. And Trump specifically mentioned there was an all hands on deck meeting with the Governors yesterday as well.
Trump clearly has a viable plan of action to get people the money over the next few weeks plain and simple. And if some governors hesitate on getting their residents the $400 while reports show some other states are already paying out the benefit, I imagine many of their unemployed residents will really start to raise hell.
Trump clearly has no viable plan for ANYHING.
We are still waiting for his viable plan to replace Obamacare, get a test to everyone who wants it for Covid, fix immigration, reopen schools, etc.
NOTHING in his actions (Past or present) suggest he has any kind of plan on anything.
He simply stated what he wants the results to be and hope by magic it happens.
I think some states will be able to do this, some will not. But the money will run out very quickly.
I remember when libs all said they were for the people. Now we have a president using his authority to help people and libs are crying like hurt seals.
