Stimulus & Bailout Watch Thread

[DJ Paul's Arm]

McConnell, Schumer far apart on unemployment benefits, stimulus proposals

Schumer stimulus
“Meanwhile, Schumer, along with four other Democratic senators, introduced a bill on Tuesday that, relative to McConnell's proposal, offers more benefits to the unemployed.

The legislation — the American Worker Holiday Relief Act — would offer the benefit retroactively to weeks of joblessness dating to Sep. 5, 2020.

The Democrats would reinstate the $600 weekly boost for all unemployed workers through October 2021. Some workers would be able to collect the $600 subsidy until early January 2022, according to the proposal.

Further, the Senate Democrats would give self-employed, gig and other workers in the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program up to 65 weeks of total benefits — almost double the current 39 weeks. They could get more if states still have high levels of unemployment.”

The Democrats would also extend Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation, which is the CARES Act program offering extra weeks of state unemployment insurance.

Workers could get up to 39 weeks of PEUC benefits — more than the current 13 weeks. They'd be eligible for additional weeks in states where the three-month average unemployment rate is above 6.5% — up to 78 total weeks when the rate exceeds 8.5%.”

Good fukking luck but it looks like a bill they know Mcconnell will shoot down. Making him look bad and giving bullets to Warnock and Ossoff to work on ads to attack Moscow Mitch.

If conceding on liability protection and no stimulus checks is what it takes to prevent millions of families from careening over an economic cliff this winter, so be it. Perfect has always been the enemy of good, and the expiration of unemployment at the end of December will consign millions to a winter of pain if nothing is done.

Liability protection is a joke and so is no stimulus checks if the goal is to actually keep people from falling off the cliff.

Unbelievable cowardice by the Dems. All that puffing their chests they were doing just to concede to some bullshyt 'bipartisan' bill anyway.

They better pray Ossof and Warnock win both of their runoffs or else this is the last stimulus we're going to see.

I live in Massachusetts, the state with the second highest unemployment. It may even have returned to the highest, a position it held until a couple of months ago, now that businesses are being shutdown again. I have a good amount of money in savings, but my hours have been reduced to barely zero and there’s no employment elsewhere, so I’d much rather keep collecting unemployment than touch that.

But, I also genuinely care about the millions who are suffering and facing even greater hardship. I know people whose businesses have shuttered, whose jobs have disappeared, and whose livelihoods have been upended by this pandemic. I care about what will happen to them if unemployment is not renewed.
