Just extend the $600.00 till the end of December case closed, these poor people collecting won't become rich off of unemployment but the southern state senators hate to see average workers benefit from those funds especially poor blacks.

These law makers continue to get their salary with no interruptions. Yet they are taking their time in making sure we get paid in a timely manner. Fire them all and clean the swamp.

[vindicta]

They’re pointing fingers of blame.. I say they’re all incompetent.

[roberthiser]

Republicans cannot stand it that poor people have a few dollars

[smprentiss]

Democrats need to STAND THEIR GROUND. Don’t cave! The people need the help and support until this pandemic calms down.

I don’t understand Trump the election is ahead and he is not willing to give people enough money they need

[thaarealdeal]

They went home without getting the job done. Let that sink in

STATE NEED TO INCREASE THERE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS. SO U DONT NEED THE FEDERAL HELP. DONT PAY FEDERAL TAXES.

[dabznslugg]

Wtf 200$ for the unemployed that’s not cool man

[nerdytechgamer]

Theres currently one job for every six people who are applying and 40% off all small business closed during the first 10 week of lockdown. Combine that with the 30 million unemployed and the people who have had there hours and pay reduced this whole notion of people not wanting to work is just not true

[deannealbrecht]

Republicans are the reason we need this in the first place.

[larryhowardjrgodson]

I have a huge social media base from Instagram Snapchat and Facebook and everyone said they're going to vote the Republicans out this year

[richarddelconnor]

Nope. Whenever McConnell says he’ll negotiate later, he’s lying. He’s been using that tactic for years.

[thechosen]

By far the dumbest administration of all time

[serenaserena]

The dems put their plan together a LONG time ago, so if republicans didn't want to approve it they shouldn't have waited til the last minute to make this "plan" that leaves out important details

[sineater]

Until those effected get hungry and need money and come to their homes and neighborhoods to get it...wake up guys...we all need this...

[waterbaby]

Republicans had no problem bailing out their friends so they purchase a Lamborghini.

[esperanzadelgado]

My God kids shouldn't go back yet there's a virus people are getting sick

[psilence]

Here’s an idea... $2 trillion and $400 weekly unemployment benefits. There... now that wasn’t so hard.

[debray]

Leave unemployment along not everyone on unemployment is making more than there wages
