Chef Jim Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 @Buftex Ok give us your take on what you'd have done differently and what any of our so-called leaders on both sides of the aisle have said they would do differently.

In the second quarter, the number of people employed will be almost 26 million lower than the number in the fourth quarter of 2019.”
B-Man Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: Finally Some Good News—Trump Is About to Flood the Economy With Deregulation. “This president has a been a breath of fresh air when it comes to regulations, gleefully chucking away hundreds of pages of them at a time. It’s really nice to see Republicans learning how to play the ‘never let a crisis go to waste’ game for once, but focusing the effort on something that’s actually good for the country, like a sweeping effort to wipe out business-crushing regulations.” We can’t afford luxury regulations in a Wuhan Virus economy. 3

"Loosening air pollution standards won't fix this:" So, you're saying that pollution standards are unnecessary regulations? That's some turn-around. We conservatives want strong pollution standards not like you so called progressives. Think of the children. 1

BillStime Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Nothing to cheer about here... Jobless claims: Another 2.438 million Americans file for unemployment benefits Do you think these ~40 million unemployed Americans are better off today than they were four years ago? Nope 1
Taro T Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Will be interesting to see what happens to unemployment numbers over the next month as states open back up. My wife's company (which was designated as essential but lost a ton of business during the shutdown) has begun ramping back up in states that are opening. They're going from ~25% staffed back up to full staffing in the next couple of weeks. That will help the numbers & they aren't the only ones. The concern is how many small businesses / restaurants won't be able to reopen & how many jobs won't come back because of that. Eventually others will take their place, but that will be a slow process & those that are out will likely never be remade whole again.

Nice try but Trump is the one who opposes extending the $600 boost in weekly unemployment benefits as jobless levels reach record highs
Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 “The worst is behind us,” declared Herbert Hoover in 1930. Two years later, Franklin Roosevelt won the presidency by an 18-point margin, capturing 42 states.

If only Trump took leadership - bold leadership - when his intelligence told him in November about the virus. Or maybe we would have been more prepared had Trump not absolutely destroyed our pandemic preparedness and infrastructure the past three years. Bold leadership requires foresight - and Trump comes up empty on all fronts. Gotta love Trumps economy lol 1

The Federal government extended a benefit for a while, at some point the states have to deal with it themselves.
