What do you tell people whom government covid policy has thrown out of work?
Yes, that's the unfortunate flip side to all of this and a huge humanitarian issue. How do you remedy those thrown out of their jobs? I fully get that. Jobs are needed and an incentive to get back to work rather then stay home. As I stated I can understand the first set of stimulus, the extended benefits ... but now people need incentives to return to work, not the opposite. Job creation -- infrastructure repair that's been tossed around for awhile as an example. This should have been in the works.
I remember during Regan's administration he actually paid people to go to work and get retrained and companies were given $$ as an incentive to hire and train. It was a win win for a lot of people. Businesses expanded and people acquired new skills.
This tossing $$ with no end in sight that may keep people afloat for a month is not sustainable. What happens when that $$ runs out and people are still out of work? Nothing really is being resolved. We're kicking the problem down the road is all.
The DEMS are more than happy to keep escalating the situation without resolution and Trump is going along.
