With millions of Californians jobless during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday that the state would face “massive” budget cuts if it carried out President Trump’s plan to have states provide $100 of a $400 supplemental weekly unemployment benefit.
In addition, reprogramming the state unemployment agency’s antiquated technology system to process weekly $400 claims shared by the federal government and state “would create time delays and would create enormous consternation for those who receive those benefits,” Newsom warned.The governor said he is disappointed that a congressional proposal to continue the $600 benefit has not been agreed to by Republicans, including Trump.
“We have said all along that California must have financial support from the federal government to address the needs created by this pandemic,” Atkins said. “We need Congress and the [Trump] administration to collaborate and deliver meaningful COVID-19 relief as soon as possible for the sake of California’s families.”
GavinNewsom is willing to starve Americans just because he hates president Trump. He was just planning to give the $600 + unemployment just last week...🤬
Where is your coverage on Belarus? The land is on fire!!!
Wow I used to vote Democrat but these people have gone buck wild CRAZY. They will literally do or say ANYTHING- even blatantly false - just to reach for more power.They don’t care about the people at all. WalkAway
TBF, Newsom *is* and expert on what DOESN’T work in CA.
It’s too bad. California was in play this cycle. Really well run state.
Laughable. After COVID-19, Newson’s poor decisions have contributed to California’s employment and economic woes.
Newsom, a failure.
HAHA, BAIL ME OUT, THE 13 MILLION I MADE FROM ILLEGAL REFINANCE OF FREE HOUSE IS GONE ALREADY N I HV RUN STATE INTO GROUND, NO MNY FOR ANYONE TILL AUNTY PLASTIC POOPOO PELOSI GIVES ME BILLIONS TO BAIL ME OUT LOL. LOSER.
This guy is such a bullshitter.
RecallNewsom
You do realize that if Cali wasn’t on the never ending GavinNewsom lockdown, people could actually work and not need this assistance? But you would rather pay people to stay home and ruin private businesses. The political 🤡 show continues. 🙄
Yadda yadda yadda balance your own damn budgets GavinNewsom WalkAwayFromDemocrats
What doesn't work is GRUESOME!!!! Let's get rid of this pile of SH*T in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Time to resign then
Yeah it won’t work because California is full of greedy democrats bitch y’all are the reason Cali is a shit whole high taxes and nothing getting done smh this should prove democrats are ruining America
Then open up salons..
No need to add the 25%, people get the $300 and adjust lifestyle
Where 2 billions they voted on for illegals Healthcare and Housing?
Fifth largest economy in the world can’t help tax paying citizens get relief from trump stimulus package? Maybe that’s because we spent 125 million giving a document it illegal immigrants health insurance. Or wasted 26 million on train to nowhere
California has never heard of a handout they couldn’t fund. Newsom is a fraud
It doesn’t work because we spend so much of my tax dollars on people who don’t pay taxes..!!
jeynu1
He gave to all the people that don’t even belong in this country
You take alot of money out of our checks and California 'has no money'
He always says California has the 5th largest economy. And now he doesn't have money? Cuz he gave to all the illegals.🤡
People should really read the article instead of commenting based on a headline.
Can I get a Angelino card
Lol. You know what WOULD work?! If you just shut this whole state down again for a month or two. Actually put some order in place like you’re supposed to do, and then we can start actually going back to normal. But you wanna stay open and have the cases continue to rise.
Maybe it is time to launch an external audit on the State of California. Let's see where the highest taxpayers in the country's tax dollars are going.
This can be applied to every past con he has done and is currently doing.. The VA issue.. The Post Office.. Healthcare lawsuit Exexutive orders for preexisting conditions.. Covid Negotiations.. Absentee Ballots.. Schools/Education.. This is the KeyCode for TheTrumpCon
California is broke: There are people out there who are ready to milk the cow and take advantage of the situation, just let people work. I’m okay with wearing the masks, but not okay with being unemployed, thankfully I’m not.
The only damn reason is that this jerk GavinNewsom keeping California closed. That’s why we broke. Newsom made the Covid choices; NOT the feds. So, he is responsible for the fallout; NOT the feds. UnemploymentBenefits Open Up or Pay Up!! 🤣🤣🤣
kdqd3 it just won't work. it's stupid and mean. like him.
Didnt legislation say they would “fill in the gaps” to make it $600 if Congress didn’t act fast enough Now they can’t do $100? So basically California gets nothing. Yeah sounds like a power play to me since the dems are so deadlocked on their side.
GavinNewsom you are a POS. Newsom received a $3.7 million estate from an LLC owned by his cousin then, a few months later took out a $2.695 million (tax-free) cash-out mortgage on it — and didn’t report the gift on any of his financial disclosure forms.
Trump designed it not to work.
One of the states with the highest taxes, federal government gives them back everything they pay into it, and Newsom says there's nothing in the piggy bank. Why? It certainly isn't spent taking care of the homeless! They need to have a massive audit in that state!
Money to illegal the left celebrates.. money to citizen that we laid off...oh no
He has millions to pay for undocumented illegals insurance. But he doesn’t have money to help the taxpayers who earned money now. Voting for a democrat is like throwing your money in the ocean. Stupidity
Newsom's gotta go..
stop overtaxing your state. its a you problem
Expand MediCal to illegals? Sure! Extra $100 a week in unemployment? No can do.
It won’t work in any state.....
This is why we need to get rid of GavinNewsom vote this guy out him and SpeakerPelosi
katieporteroc TeamPelosi KamalaHarris so u ladies are really too busy for your own state, eh?
Ya thats because he took all the tax payer money and blew it on illegal immigrants
Newsom claimed a 5 billion surplus. Prepared for a down turn. And you idiots beleived and voted for him!?!?!? This was a snap shot in time before the virus. Can YOU imagine where CA is today financially. 👇👇👇😷👇
Read article in full, he’s completely right. If Trumps order were to stick, Newsome would be wise to just give Californians the extra 300/week that the Fed side would cover. DO NOT add 700 million PER WEEK of state debt for an add’l 100 bucks. He’s makin the(correct)tough call.💯
quick cover up the story about the fake numbers in CA. no jobs, no church, no school, no voting in person but demonstrations are ok? no wonder no body reads your fake paper
And many other states. But Trump said today he will give his favorite states more money?
Nothing works in cali anyways
There's no money in a federal 'piggy bank' either. State or federal, it's deficit spending. Yet many believe that the single-biggest expense outside of housing — health care — can be nationalized (Medicare4All). If we can't afford COVID19, will it work?
morgfair All those executive orders Trump signed the other day was for show only.
Don't be fooled by and GavinNewsom. Trump's unemployment benefits plan CAN work in California, but Newsolini would rather use taxpayer money to pay the health insurance of ILLEGAL immigrants rather than pay for the unemployment benefits of Californians.
Governor Hair Gel needs to stop funding illegals and take care of the citizens.
GavinNewsom you’re the worst governor ever!! Shame on you for what you’re doing to our state! 😡
Bc Cali is a dump with terrible policies
Thats because you bankrupted the state long ago and now you want Aunt Nancy to bail you out. Unreal the nepotism in this state.
So it sounds like CA actually does have the money provided earlier, but doesn't want to use it for their unemployed. It's been 'allocated' for something else. What could that be? It's supposed to be used for virus issues.
Nothing works in California
Because you assholes have to pay for it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 liberalism is fun until you have to pay for all the shit that you’re giving away
Others like PhilTing disagree
