A dumb comment. Many folks who are in bad circumstances - often as the result of a bad medical episode - are not there by choice. R's need to stop being arseholes whose only goal in life is to piss off as many people as possible.

The governor keeps pushing the idea but the legislature does not want to work with him or to provide him with any opportunity to look like he's doing something for the people of pennsyltucky so they shut down the idea. Plus, the R-controlled legislature wants to make sure there is enough dough in the coffers to fund their upcoming 9% pay raise (on top of the 5% they got last year).

So we should stop giving tax cuts to the wealthy then, right?
satan_on_shoulder t1_irk7clm wrote
Yeah, they shouldn't be given tax breaks. Was this supposed to be a gotcha or something? Do you think I'm a bootlicker? Is it that extreme to that believe everyone should earn their own living and should also pay their taxes regardless of what that costs?
nesquiksand2 t1_irk8wp5 wrote
"Helping people who don't want to help themselves is bad" is a very bootlicker thing to say, comrade. But I agree, everyone should be able to earn their own living, that's why I support unions. But I also think that a UBI for people making under a certain amount would actually support people making a living. More money to spend at businesses could help wages increase, would give people more money to focus on their own goals like going to school or starting their own business.

Where does it say this person isn’t working?

Funny how they get pay raises like clockwork, but the average worker hasn’t gotten a raise in 13 years, and it absolutely wasn’t enough.
412Junglist t1_irkvd57 wrote
As if $2000 to help with pandemic expenses(that’s literally the only reason the money was allotted) is enough to not work and retire on, lol. 🤡

What a horrible idea. This will just make inflation worse.

Lol, You need to vote Dem to make sure you get this $2K. So yes, you'll get something this coming elections. It's kind of like an incentive, reward...I don't know, almost an unspoken bribe. That's all it is...a reason to vote Dem that doesn't really help anyone long term.
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irqc61i wrote
Thanks for your explanation it makes sense now thanks. so basically we gotta hope the president issues the standard stimulus check right? or is that over too.
Jesus christ why so many dislikes, they acting as if i did something evil lol.
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irqc76j wrote
man that sucks i could really use that 2k seriously.
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irqcfhd wrote
i have no problem with that lol. i just dont get why they dont understand life is way too short lets help each other. all this tryna be cheap and keep from the poor does nothing... if overpopulation is a problem then we can talk about that, or whatever their reasoning is
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irqcmv9 wrote
and with that said im going to invest so hard cause im not ever going to forget this covid experience. you cant rely on nothing. i lost my job due to covid, lost family members and just like that im expected to go back to normal. I never asked for this, i would rather covid never happened and life continued as normal........

is their any hope in these next elections? My god what is wrong with these republicans. i dont understand why rich folks even care like this.
MacDynamite71 t1_irqh511 wrote
It’s all about control and optics. They’d rather folk suffer then see Wolf get a win.
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irqjv02 wrote
smh its crazy that in 50 years most of them will be dead in other words sometimes all this petty crap means nothing. but i guess its yolo right. i just dont see how they call themselves christians.....
do you think its possible if dems win we can get it or its simply never gonna happen. im dumb when it comes to politics. i stopped caring after jan 6 when i seen how many people are that wicked and evil. politics matter but i didnt know we had this many crazies. whats the point if these guys can just get angry next time it could spark a civil war seriously........

This is PA and the topic is Wolf's efforts to issue checks to those most in need from federal funds that have sitting unused for the past couple of years.

We have to gain control of both Houses. Currently the republicans control both Houses
ODDBOY90 OP t1_irupl57 wrote

Technically not true as even both rounds of stimulus that went to American individuals and families accounts for around 8% of total spending on both bills.
But they will completely blame inflation i On the fact they gave a fraction of trillions to the American people.
Btw they gave American Airlines who paid almost no taxes since atleast around 2015, the equivalent of everyone’s stimulus combined during any one single round of stimulus

Last I heard, the Pennsylvania GOP was stopping the idea. For reasons known only to those in charge.
