Expiring Jobless Aid Puts Pressure on GOP Senators

News Corp is a network of leading companies in the worlds of diversified media, news, education, and information services.

The GOP is making a massive mistake by discontinuing the $600 a week unemployment payment with the COVID-19 virus still raging. People will be thrown out on the streets. Kids won't be fed. Lives will be shredded. They will pay a big price in November at the polls.

Let it end!

The government is sending $1200 to people who haven’t been economically impacted by the pandemic but wants to reduce the benefit paid to people who are unemployed because of it. How does this make sense?

Dont extend the aid

End it and get back to work

The GOP is making a massive mistake. Cutting off the $600 weekly supplement will backfire & the ramifications will be brutal. Once again, they will be hurting regular working class Americans. Totally tone deaf move. Come November, they'll pay a huge price & be sent home.

Get a job🤷‍♀️

Let it end. I’ve seen plenty of job opportunities popping up for all levels.

Puts pressures on the millions falling off the cliff vote blue

Woke Street Journal at it again.

simple: Reopen the economy, let people work.

It’s drastic for economy of US as they’re running outta funds and indebted heavily. Apparently its good move but ultimate consequences would be worst even for massive though initiave has been taken for them. RIP_US USA US Weekly_Suppliment unemploymentbenefits

why any supplement dumb

paying perfectly active & healthy folks to stay at home and receive a Gov't weekly allocation of money so they can now have time to join 'Protests' and smash , burn, and rob Gov't buildings is the epitome of Hypocrisy !!! ... and Stupidity !!!

When asked to comment moscowmitch replied, 'humma, humma, dribble, unintelligible, humma, radical Dems.'

There won’t be negotiations...

lindsaywise They have given away trillions to the super rich. They are struggling to give 600 dollars to the people who need it the most.

Is it November yet?

senatemajldr SenateGOP For ONCE in your lives, do something to help your fellow Americans, NOT your party or your pathetic leader. KEEP AMERICANS supported during this time-do not be the cause of mass evictions, increased hunger & insecurity in our Nation Vote to help ppl NOW

Little time? It ends today. Rent, mortgages, credit payments will be due next week. Chaos. There’s no way this administration will be in power next year no matter how much voter suppression DT practices.

How about $600 a week for people who are working? Call it Universal Basic Income.

This approach to crisis-legislation, or tough matters before the Senate, is from Mitch’s same old playbook and it’s tired. He should cut a deal and move on to the election.

Can we start cutting the lawmakers pay soon too?

They need to be pressured. Family of 3-5 with car payments, mortgages, food, insurances, no jobs, this is not a golden parachute into a retirement. Banks cannot repo homes and have them on a banks balance sheet like 2007 just cant happen. We will be a dire financial crisis.

Don’t they think they will need that unemployment after November?

Do they understand that this might not have been necessary if Trump had handled this crisis correctly?

grand 'old' party............

Pressure? You have to care before you feel pressure. Hint- They don't. GOPCorruptionOverCountry MoscowMitch

Reopen the economy.

i have a great idea for an app... lets call it... tik tok

Randi Weingarten calls GOP canceled convention 'hypocrisy' as pressure mounts to reopen schools'If it's not safe enough for GOP delegates to be hundreds in the convention space, then how is it safe enough in Florida for children to be hundreds in a school?' says Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers. And what will happen to the parents of the school children? The kids, the teachers, the staff, the bus drivers, and their families will be the 'clinical proof' PressSec is talking about. Guinea pigs. Well old Randi needs to take it up with the CDC and all the pediatricians who were on NBC saying children need to go back to school.
