Republicans scrap Trump’s demand for payroll tax cut as they cobble together draft coronavirus bill
this is good news and another ding to Trump
Payroll taxes help so few. If you are making $20k a year, you are talking $5 a paycheck. It's absurd to think that is going to help
Oh yeah, if you are uneployed...no benefit for you
The estimates were that the $600 extra the fed gave pumped $50billion right back into the economy and helped on a lot of levels
Landlords were getting rent, people were buying stuff from stores so they could stay in business
Had that not been there, I think this downturn would have been tremendously worse
Republicans are always soo worried that some poor minority is scamming the system
Yes there are few that might not go back to work if the unemployment is higher, but I think the majority of people would rather have a job. And those jobs are not there, so it's a silly argument
The grift from the corporations (that benefit very few) is soo much larger
