Trump wants states to pay a quarter of his new unemployment benefit. States say they can’t afford it.

Shelby Kerns, executive director of NASBO, said"most states will have a difficult time paying a share of the enhanced benefits as state revenues are declining and CARES Act funds are largely allocated to other needs."

A number of states reached by NBC News, including Maine, Michigan, Kansas, Alabama, and Mississippi, said they were awaiting additional administration guidance before determining how to proceed.

Those are the meanest pig eyes I’ve ever seen

Federal tax payers need a break

i care nothing about this man what he says and what he dose, nothing

TRUMP IS A LIAR, A COWARD - AND - AN INCOMPETENT LEADER DURING THIS CRISIS OF A RAGING PANDEMIC & FAILING ECONOMY!!! PPL & FAMILIES ARE SUFFERING THRU ILLNESS, DEATH, FINANCIAL BURDENS (HOUSING, GROCERIES, MEDS) & TRUMP/REGIME COULD CARE LESS!

He must have other plans for the tax money paid by the working class, essential workers, hourly workers and people working multiple jobs!! So he is trying to dump more on the states - each time he has no idea what or how to do he tries to pass it on to the states!! It is his job!

This is what you get when you hire a con man to balance your books. Actually, I don't think he conned anyone his supporters are just not bright. Here's one rejecting math, physics and saftey recommendations.

That’s like starting a Gofundme Page for the quarterback who wrecked his knee during the big game, then asking his broke, single mother to chip in 25 per cent of the medical bill. 🙄

Great idea. This goes straight to those that allowed destruction of cities with “defund police”

This too will be an epic fail

Inslee will just give it away to NIGERIAN scammers, AGAIN.

Where is the Federal money coming from?

Of Course they can’t afford it.... What did you expect themto say ASSHOLE 🤮

Trump won't fund the States and then wants them to pick up the tab for the unemployment package. He is a complete incompetent imbecile.

Such a conartist

Some Blue States, liberal fascists. You may want to correct that. It's misleading. Not that you ever meant to mislead your readers. That goes without saying. I guess CA, NY and IL can start chanting: Bankruptcy here we come!

Trump does not offer solutions, he offers negotiation levers. He know it can't be done but the red hats don't care.
