If only Trump were still around, he could borrow some more money from FEMA again to extend the supplemental unemployment and scream at Republicans that they're stimulus is not high enough.

Except because Trump never proposed anything like what Sleepy Joe is doing to pay people to sit on the couch.

Stimulus checks are awesome when Trump demands them, and Democrats are evil for not sending out a petty little $2000 check once in a while.

But stimulus checks are eeeeeebil when Democrats do send them out, particularly to unemployerld people who will actually spend that money.

Once again it's not about the policy. It's about the personalities and what marching orders are being broadast on FauxNews.

They have to blame Trump because the liberals elected the Democrats and THEY can't be wrong

Lol. You’re obviously ignoring the printing, borrowing, and giving out free stuff by Sleepy Joe like history has never seen.

There’s plenty of jobs available for the unemployed folks to make money to spend.

Actually, it’s about the free stuff folks who think they’re entitled to collect money from taxpayers teats versus getting a job to support themselves.

It will be interesting when the UE facade ends. All those people scrambling for a job should be quite the show.

I'm a Trump voter, but we have to be fair here- the enhanced unemployment came during Trump. We already have strong state unemployment safety nets, and the fed could have easily just supported the state programs by keeping them funded, but instead they made additional direct unemployment payments to individuals.

We are definitely experiencing inflation, but it's definitely both parties at fault. However, as long as you have money and invest it in things that grow with inflation, you're fine. It only hurts the poor and lower middle class. So it's kind of funny- the more money we print and give to the lower classes, the more it hurts those classes.

Since I'm not a member of one of those classes, I don't super care. Print as much money as you want, drive the lower classes even lower, no skin off my back. Inflation is one of the easiest ways to make sure that the rich get richer.

Nobody’s arguing it started with because Trump, however, because Trump didn’t enhance anything like we’re seeing with the Sleepy Joe regime, and especially with so many jobs being available yet the free stuff is still being passed out.
