Republicans want to end benefits to people they made jobless as Unemployment reaches 38.6 Million

[Jack]

President Trump and top Republican lawmakers are mounting fresh opposition to extending enhanced unemployment benefits to the millions of Americans who are still out of work, even as the administration released new jobless figures Thursday showing 2.4 million Americans sought benefits last week.

The reluctance by the White House and top GOP leaders drew sharp rebukes from congressional Democrats, who argue the coronavirus outbreak threatens to further ravage the U.S. workforce unless the government authorizes additional aid. Their clash could intensify in the next six weeks, as policymakers stare down a July deadline while the country’s labor market is expected to only worsen.

More than 38.6 million Americans have sought unemployment benefits over nine weeks, the Labor Department reported in its most recent update, illustrating the rolling devastation wrought by the pandemic.

At issue is the enhanced unemployment aid Congress approved in late March, which includes an extra $600 in weekly payments to out-of-work Americans. On Tuesday, President Trump articulated his reluctance to extend those benefits during a closed-door lunch with Senate Republicans, many of whom share his concern that the expanded federal payments deter people from returning to work. The enhanced benefits expire in July.

So we should hand out 2 trillion dollars every month?

What happened to Matteo Salvini?

He is not someone to be fully trusted. He has shown this many times. He has ended his own government some month ago and yes it wasnt perfect because in this government he had an allience with basically leftists but it was still better than the one we have now and it's thanks to him that now we have this.

If you are not Italian, It's a bit complicated to explain as you don't know Italian politic.

 

[ShadowTheRaven]

Not really his fault. Even a lot of dumb Americans have been tricked the same way, and they live here so they should see it for themself.

This is why I'm not a big fan of democracy in general.

That's why we aren't a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

That's why we aren't a democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Then why do we have democratic elections? Why go through all the effort to create such an illusion of free choice?

It always amazes me that the people who live in America are the ones who know the least wtf is going on inside of it. Get your facts right ,first. Donald trump doubled (or possibly Tripled) the National Debt if that's what you call bringing our Economy 50 years back I agree. He destroyed the economy with practises he said Clinton would do in the debate between him and Hilary Clinton. And more of all, the wall is not built. They've only repaired the pre existing fencing with artistic steel slabs. Getting your head around that you were lied to and your dear leader didn't fulfill any of the promises he made will be a challenge for you, since you don't seem to have basic understanding of the situation. But I urge you to look into it, because it will be proof to you that you should never get into this game of Republicans vs Democrats and judge people on what they deliver and not what they say.

That's why I've drawn the conclusion that Democracy is a fucking joke!

 

[Ol argedco luciftias]

The wall only started seriously being build a few months ago, because the democrats spent years blocking all of his attempts to start working on it. The president is not a dictator, he can not just immediately have done whatever he wants. But he finally did make a way for the wall to be built that the democrats are not able to block. Some sections of the wall have been repaired and replaced, but there is also parts of the wall being built in places where there never was a wall. The work on the wall started a few months ago, and they do about a mile every day or 2. So it's going to take some time to have the whole thing built across the entire border. But it is being done right now. So you saying "the entire project isn't finished yet, so it doesn't count!" That's just dumb.

The points about minority employment are to show how much the economy has improved, that even the people who have historically not been successful with that are now the most successful they've ever been. This is not to say that white men did not also benefit immensely, but it is to show that the improvement was so big that it helped everybody. White men have always been the most successful economically in America, and that is why the employment records are not such a big record for that group. But if you actually lived in America instead of the oposite side of the planet, you would have felt how basically every single family in America was having more money in their pocket then in all the recent previous years.

I don't like kushner and I don't like his big support of israel. He is not perfect, and that is like the one thing bad about him.

Jack, I want to be friendly to you because some parts of some of my recent comments to you might look not as much friendly.

I just want you to know that I would never write a hundred comments trying to argue with you about really intricate parts of Indian politics and society. Because I would just admit that I know absolutely nothing at all about Indian politics. I have no idea how it works, I don't know the history of it, I don't know about the society there, and I don't know any of the stories about it. If I always saw all kinds of propaganda about India that is written in a way that looks like it might be true, I would probably believe it. But I would never argue with you about it and act like I know more about it than you do. I would just admit that I don't know shit about it, and I would accept that an Indian absolutely knows everything more about India than I do. Especially if I knew that 99% of the stories I heard about India were written by one single room full of people, small enough to sit at a table together, and those people's only goal is to brainwash and lie to the entire planet. Like the 6 companies owned by around 20 people all together, who have absolute ownership and control over 96% of the "news" media of the entire planet.


This is my perspective, and this is why I don't understand why you keep trying to argue with me about this stuff. You just clearly have absolutely zero understanding about the entire structure of American political power. You do not understand the different branches of our government and the powers that each one has, you do not understand the powers that the president has, you do not understand federalism, you do not understand about who does what and who is getting in their way. You just don't know the structure of it all.

But I am American, I've been in America my whole life spending every day of my life paying close attention to how it all works. I had a whole year-long class called AP US Government that is all about how every piece of the entire structure works. And I payed close attention in that class, it really does take all those 9 months to clearly get through every piece. And I have also spent every day for years paying very close attention to every important political event and action happening in America. Listening to hours of these videos, I play them at twice the normal speed on youtube so I can listen to more of them in less time.

So I just don't understand what you are trying to argue about. I just see you saying dumb things that are just plain not true, and I don't understand it. How about actually learning more? Like you are always saying that things are not happening in America and it's Trump's fault that they are not happening. But those exact things actually are happening and have been happening for a long time. Like what am I supposed to say to that? If you don't know about something, it's easy to pretend that it doesn't exist. But if I'm sitting here looking directly at that thing and I've been watching that thing for years every day, then obviously I know that it really is happening. So what could I say to you?

Give me proof from any source, Republican or otherwise that claims this happened.

Give me proof from any source, Republican or otherwise that claims this happened.

At least the pace was about a mile every day during last September. I'm not sure what the speed is right now. Corona may have slowed it down, I don't know, but I think I heard that corona has not been slowing it down.

I can't even find any source that says the wall is not being built, not even from the people that hate Trump. I don't know where you even got that fake news from.

I'm a very friendly person in general. I usually keep politics and friendship completely separate. I'm generally a very friendly and hospitable person to everyone even if on online i might not seem that way.

Jack, I understand completely. We are both very similar this way. We are both extremely friendly and caring people, we both like and respect each other a lot. We are both very smart. And we both do not like to be wrong, because we are both 95% of the time perfectly right about everything. So if we disagree, we talk in a way that does not sound as much friendly, but we really are very friendly people.
