Trump adviser Larry Kudlow says the federal government should stop topping up unemployment payments at the end of next month and shift instead to providing “some kind of bonus for returning to work”

What the FederalReserve federalgovt should stop doing is putting $25b/day into the market instead pay off student loans & give ppl a break. Setup a fund for minorities families & support some reforms & make a change for justice for Blacks. Police/judges/media - all needs reform

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Kudlow starts conversations by saying he not a medical expert, then proceeds to say the virus is on the way out! Really, he’s not an economist either, but tells us the economy is fine! 😱

Not that the employers who let them go have anything to do with it. The Payroll Protection Act money was supposed to keep people employed, not be pocketed after laying everyone off.

I used tot think highly of Larry. He has sold our for Trump and has sold out our country (at least the middle class). Screw you Larry - you embarrass all of USA!

Yes. Please stop the attacks on small business.

INCENTIVE FOR WORKING WILL ENCOURAGE ENTREPRENEURS. ENCOURAGE SAVINGS, INVITE INVESTMENTS, TRACE EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES, ENSURE EMPLOYMENT BUT NOT ENCOURAGE UNEMPLOYMENT. ADVISE PEOPLE TO EARN, ON THEIR CAPABILITIES. CONVERT ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES WITH WORKING HOURS RESOURCES.

There are no jobs asshole.

Would it be more feasible to make unemployment benefits at 90% of previous earnings. Incentive to return to work but does not bankrupt those whose jobs are not available.

Much like Eric Clapton, he was better on cocaine.

That sounds great But! Companies are not going to hire everyone. They have a chance to start cutting back and trim the fat within the company. I'm sure they will provide a way that the companies will fine away to get that bonus for themselves.

Trump Steaks for a year?

They are offering covid as a bonus!

If you spent a dollar every second, it would take 31,689 years to spend a trillion dollars. The FederalReserve created 900 billion dollars between 1914 and 2007. It has created three times that much money, $2.8 trillion, just since January 1st in 2020.

agree completely

Maybe strengthen safety protocols and enforce them and than talk about bonuses to get back to work.

Where do the jobs come from? This is comical.

Lol like maybe just raise the minimum wage to 20/hr?

What about the people who don’t have a job to go back to at the end of July? Many don’t have the choice.

Good idea..reduce the EI premiums withheld from pays as a reward for going back to restart the economy

Right, with a shortage of jobs. Genius. Not really. Stupid.

So, the folks who were deemed “essential” went to work at the risk of their and their families personal safety. Meanwhile, their friends on unemployment earned several hundred dollars more per week for staying home. And those same folks who stayed home now get a bonus? Seems fair

Study: 71 percent of jobless Americans did not receive their March unemployment benefits A new Pew study found only 29 percent of jobless Americans received benefits in March

“data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, we estimate that more than half of states have processed and paid less than 60% of total submitted unemployment claims' Study finds 44% of U.S. unemployment applicants have been denied or are still waiting

Agree even though I’m still unemployed

Or a hybrid version. Allow reduced top off, based on previous income. Also, pay top off amount to those who return to work. Both should have a firm expiration date.

What about the promo industry ? All our events for summer (when we make the most) got cancelled !!!! So why are we going to do ? Starve to death ? Compete for jobs that we are not qualified for ? TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS PURE EVIL AND WANT EVERYBODY TO SUFFER . realDonaldTrump

Alternatively, the White House could choose somebody who is not a cocaine-crack addict to spread its economic message. Too much to ask?

Larry Kudlow putting Profit before People!

And a bonus for those of us that have been at work 🤷‍♀️

Those workers who continued working full-time jobs in high-risk fields for earnings LESS than those Americans on unemployment (both full & part-time) those are the ones that earned a bonus. instead of incentivizing “back to work” how bout we reward the ones that never stopped

That's a fantastic idea.

That’s great, but to “return to work” there has to be a job to return to...many businesses, although reopening, are rehiring only a small percentage of their previous employees. And some are reopening without proper precautions, so some workers are reluctant to work...

Shouldn’t the bonus be having a job?

So, what happens when there is a State mandate that forces businesses to keep people off the payroll due to spikes in Corona Virus cases. It's not like a lot of people have a choice. This whole idea that people would rather stay on the dough due to extra money is crap.

Anyone at the top notice the uptick in coronavirus cases?

'Yes, yes...some kind of return to work bonus...for the employers...' 😆

Welfare for the rich only. Always. These a$$holes think if u make 75k/yr & u got the bonus 28k a year u would stop working. Go from 25-50k or 175-200k, it's hilarious cuz they r rich & still work & think 28k will make a middle class person pack it up & live the life of Riley.

‘Topping up?’ They created chaos & have literally done Sugar, Honey, Iced Tea by comparison! That’s how you know their unemployment numbers are (excuse me) ‘trumped up’! There should be a revolt on top of the current revolt!

Yes please

If you can spend the whole day protesting, what makes you unable to go to work?

everybody in this country should be back to work by now.. that extra 600 is an absolute farce

Wouldn't that be the same as supporting a $15/hr minimum wage or close to it?

And a tax break for those who still worked during the worst moments of the shutdown should not be too much to ask

I don't think Larry or any of those corrupt useless eaters understand the mindset of the people right now if they think they're just going to continue with their exploitations.

Why bother? Markets rebounded since the lows so no more stimulus is needed. Even fundstrat said that poor & unemployed people don’t matter so why waste extra money?

Also give a bonus to employers rehiring fires employees

A death bonus? Awesome Kudlow👄

What about the people who still can’t work? There IS a contagious disease still going around...

Where are the 40 million new jobs to get this bonus ? They haven't been created so no bonus, got it !

An infection and dying bonus?

Makes sense.

So pay employees to play go to work roulette? ......

Some of us STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED OUR IMPACT STIMULUS CHECKS. They haven’t addressed our category: Filed taxes BUT not receiving a refund. There’s nowhere to enter direct deposit info and no way to know if IRS has identified people in that category. larry_kudlow

Kudlow is right.

Larry Kudlow is legitimately evil

And he’s absolutely right. Current unemployment compensation is so much that there’s no reason or incentive to go back to work.

Sure thing Larry, you will the person in charge be? What about accountability?

Why are most of the stores still closed at the mall? Are they just letting workers get the $600 weekly bonus until the end of July? Lenscrafters is the place I want to go. They will not call me to talk about this. I guess I have to go to a different eye glasses place...

Funeral and hospital expenses perhaps?

Sounds like something a morally-bankrupt rich person would say.

Well he would. Wouldn’t he. 110,000 AVOIDABLE DEATHS GOPcorruption KremlinAnnex KremlinOligarchs RussianAsset

Has Kudlow ever been right?

A million thanks to johnbollinger26 who made my life change. forex/bitcoin trade is really a complex one but with the help of John Bollinger strategy and signal I have been able to recover my lost in such a short while with just an investment of $500 be sure to withdraw $4,600

Kudlow needs to ease up on the blow a tad.

Yuck

Kudlow: ‘There is no second wave’ of coronavirusLarry Kudlow declared that a “second wave” of the coronavirus was not descending upon the U.S., even as cases are spiking in more than a dozen states. “There is no emergency. There is no second wave. I don’t know where that got started on Wall Street” apparently, no one listens to ScottGottliebMD , he said AZ was not a second wave He's finally right about something. The places that are seeing increases are still in the first wave, like my state in North Carolina. The number have never gone down. We're still just going up. It's clearly still the first wave. Kudos to Kudlow - finally got something right. I’ll trust this guy over you hacks. Learn.
