The first part begins w/ the fact that they are at this point where there will be lapse w/out a decision, the limbo they create is tantamount to psychological warfare

0 indication it would be over 7/31

2) #congress is playing a very sick game with #covid unemployment #herosact #caresact #healsact

In many case people have jobs but are not being allowed to work due to mandates by their state restrictions or the industry.

They are not closing this it is being forced upon them.

3) #congress is playing a very sick game w/ #covid19 unemploymemt

The circumstance that they are trying to prevent is one they created in the first place by being so short sighted they could only create a one size fits all solution where many were making more than when working.

4 ) #congress is playing a very sick game w/ #covid19 unemployment #healsact #herosact

The reality is overpayment situationseffected the lowest wage earners in america but were making more than the "essential" remaining lowest wage earners in America working private sector

5) #congress is paying a very sick game with #covid19 #caresact #healsact #herosact

So you have created an unfair situation to those who are working mainly benefit those corps who have been made virtual monoplies in the private sector with their competition being shuttered

6) #congress is playing a very sick game with #covid19 unemployment

Many of those companies offered "bonuses" which were really insulting token amounts compared with their increased profits

Congress did not foresee this element, when anyone with a calculator or scale could.

7)#congress is playing a very sick game with #covid19 unemployent #healsact #herosact

Now their solution from the @gop is 200 through October which means they have nonintention to provide help for the duration of this pandemic (which won't kill if u are young, or healthy)

8) #congress is playing a very sick game with #covid19 #herosact #healsact

Then their plan is to help replace up to $500 or 70% AFTER OCTOBER WHICH WILL SURELY NOT BE ABLE TO BE PROGRAMMED INTO THE STATES SYSTEMS

9) #congress is playing a very sick game w #covid19 #healsact

This will decimate the middle class citizens who are unemployed (many have jobs waiting but cant go 2 work)

$500 + state $ wouldnt get near 70% if earning middle class wages

70k plus who've paid considerable taxes

10a) #congress is playing a very sick game with #covid unemployment

Meanwhile u have the #democrats asking for 3.5 trillion& pretending this is about $600

30million ppl (not that high) X $600 = 18 billion per week

If available for 20 weeks (won't be that long)= $360 billion

10b) #Congress is playing a very sick game with #covid19 unemployment #herosact #heals act

The reality is the amount will not come even close to 360 billion, and even if it did would only be 10% of the ask because the #democrat bill is so full of pork and special interests.

11a) #congress is playing a very sick game w/ #covid unemployment

Meanwhile what is not on the table is the termination of government employees who in many cases did not have to work or got to phone in limited work but got full paychecks.

Except the private sector was fired

11b) #congress is playing a very sick game with #coronavirus unemployment

Taxes fund those salaries but we don't even get economic production from gov

Why is there no discussion about the cost of the government frm which we got very limited production from including teachers.

12) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid19 unemployment

The members themselves did not see the problem of solving the financial impact as one that would would require extra work and effort and throughout the kept a less than 8 day / month schedule in session

13) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid19 unemployment

If they do not come up with a solution by 7/31 there should be serious consequences as they continue the previously mentioned psychological warfare of keeping citizens in the dark, and certainly not whole

14) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid19 unemployment #healsact #herosact

And if they dare recess in August without a resolution I believe each and every member of the house should be held PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE AND PUNISHED ACCORDINLY BY THE MOB THEYLL CREATE

15) #congress playing a very serious game w/ #covid19 unemployment #healsact

here's a real solution

1.Match an individuals state amount up 2 $600

The state amount is already determined by earned income & one couldnt make more not working

Ppl getting more=paid more in taxes

16) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid19 unemployment #healsact #herosact

Here is a solution

1a) if they matched an individuals state amount (up to $600)

It would also be an easy implantation for the states as it would only require a 2x function.

17) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid19 unemployment

Here is a solution

2. Anyone receiving federal unemployment would have to have lost their job as a direct cause of #covid19 I.e closures by government, or capacity restrictions by government.

18) #congress is playing a very serious game w/ #covid19 unemployment #herosact

Heres a solution
3. Reward the essential employees by paying the employers portion of their payroll tax directly to the employees & letting them keep their payroll tax 4 ppl earning less than 60k

19) #congress is playing a very serious game with #covid unemployment

Solution 3 continued
This essential bonus for working employees would make the incentive about 13% of wages and certainly given them an edge over their non working counterpart.

20) #congress is playing a serious game with #covid19 unemployment

The members w/out a reasonable & logical solution for the current situation, .& w/out regards for the citizen first, I predict will meet the end of their careers, not by political process but by created violence
