It wasn't illegal to promise it, but it would be if they paid them. I'd either cut it to $1,000 or just make it a whole new deal and give everybody $5,000. It would be foolish to actually pay out $1,400 that was promised if you voted Democrat in Georgia.

Democrats control only 50 Senate seats, meaning they can’t afford to lose any if they want to retain control of the chamber. Out of nearly 4.5 million votes cast in the Georgia runoff, Warnock won by just 93,272. He will be running for Senate, again, in 2022. https://ballotpedia.org/Raphael_Warnock The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Quote:“The Senate is on track to send a robust $1.9 trillion package to the president’s desk before the March 14 expiration of unemployment insurance benefits” from the last round of stimulus, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a Friday letter to colleagues. “We will meet this deadline.”

Hmmmmm.... Maybe if they weren't so focused on something else that wasn't important for the last 5 weeks, 20 million unemployed Americans wouldn't be worrying so much right now.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: They should have tied minimum wage to inflation decades ago. . . . I don't know what the answer is, but trying to play games and shove something like this in a budget spending bill isn't it. It's probably for the best that they don't try to push it through. Every time Democrats pull shit like this they only open the doors for Republicans to do more bad shit in the future and use the actions of Democrats as precedent.

Quote:Unemployment benefits end next week. It may be too late for Congress to stop it, experts say
Quote:A multi-week gap in benefits is almost inevitable for a subset of people even if President Biden gets the legislation in time.
Quote:“The unfortunate reality is, we waited a little too long,” said Elizabeth Pancotti, an unemployment expert and policy advisor at Employ America. “They needed a bill to [President Biden] by about Valentine’s Day.”

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
