Why The U.S. Unemployment System Is Failing

- Опубликовано: 13 май 2020
- Many of the over 36 million people who filed unemployment claims have not yet received benefits. In fact, only 29% of unemployed Americans received benefits in March. The original design of the Unemployment Insurance system was not created to sustain such an influx of claims. During this crisis, state trust funds will be depleted and they may have to borrow from the Federal Government to be able to meet their obligations.

Why The United States Unemployment System Is Failing
America has always been quick to take Americans money and slow to pay out when need be.
I've never heard of any government that generous
The Fuzzy Pickle Canada is doing a much better job.
Of course. Welcome to America.
America is and always has been like that.. to other countries as well. How do you think America became what it is?! America is done. It's been long due.
Angel Gutierrez Canada doesn’t have 330 million people and the US doesn’t have 40% income tax
I always find it funny how the American people pay taxes for something then when they need it it's not there or running out 🤔
Or phones not working... EBT, Irs, credit card Co., etc...
Funny isn't it!
This is heartbreaking to watch.
Americans work so hard that is Middle class Americans fat cats at the top don't know or care.
Kate in Ireland.
Most of us lack critical thinking to vote for our own interest.
Kenneth Smith there should be no EBT. Taking money from me .
In Canada, if you've been laid off for any reason during this pandemic, you're entitled to the CERB (Covid-19 Emergency Response Benifit) which is a flat $2000 CAD a month. We haven't had to wait or fight for it - it was just given to us during our time of need. Everything has gone pretty smoothly. I wish it was the same in the United States.
Does this go to self-employed people too?
Cristina Sydnor yes, and a separate benefit for students that is $1250/mo
Cristina Sydnor you can also make up to $1000 and still qualify
Still just fake money
Here in the U.S if you get laid off you get the state’s unemployment plus $600 for covid relief weekly. My daughter went from making $700 a month working part time to $2,800.
It’s ok guys the billionaires got their bailout
Jesus!! Its never enough for them. They just take take take take more more more.... meanwhile, people are suffering!!!! I hate this. Are they stupid?? WE NEEED PEOPLE ON THIS EARTH!!!!!!!
Calvin Hodge Lake Capitalism - ‘see an opportunity to make money and take it’ it doesn’t matter how immoral unethical or how many people suffer because of this ‘opportunity’
the billionaires have been keeping their money off shore in tax havens as usual. THey dont want to pay taxes during times like these.
@Beau N Tea. Sorry. That's what Obama did. This is Trump. Wrong person. Trump gave money to the citizens. Obama just gave it to the big corporations.
Said trump.
So we can spend Trillions of dollars on these wars overseas but cant upgrade our computer systems ?
Or at least make sure americans dont lose health and home. They dont care about us, only the US.
It's clear they don't represent us!
Short answer: the same reason that every other government institution is failing. greed.
don't forget immensely out of date
COBAL AND FORTRAN IN NEW JERSEY BTW but also politically outdated
I'm sorry, whose greed are tou referring to?
@@merlinious01 the governments, CEOs around the world, YOU
@@shinski8114 lol
Without greed, any government can not sustain the need of the people. The tax of the people sustain the government. Not the way around. Even China government can not feed it people. Corona is estimated shall be around for one year up to three years.
The 1200$ or 2500$ which Americans get, is like giving back their taxes they paid 2 weeks ago.
I paid way more than 1200 on taxes. I wish we got our taxes back
So unfair for most people that is still working and can’t quality for unemployment even when their hours are reduced.
A full year of tax rebates is coming. Eventually, they will be desperate enough to give everyone all the taxes they paid to try to save the system.
@@Kevin_Roche That doesn't seem like a bad idea 🤔
I pay taxes but since I’m a 20 year old who lives it home I was overlooked. Mom didnt even get her $500 because i’m too old. The government ignores our generation and the only thing I can do is speak with my wallet. Canada here I come.
Next on the chopping block: Social Security and Medicare. We're on our own, folks.
It wasn’t built to handle this much job loss...
*It wasn't built* The number 1 pastime of state legislatures is defunding or crippling their unemployment systems.

yes thats what the video says
@@guillermogutierrez-santana4446 I filed for unemployment before the Bush depression in Floriduh, and that was a total joke. I got one check and then the state blocked me. I was told I would have to go though another state office to get a review to get it re-established.
@@Gee-xb7rt I'm surprised Florida was even that generous, I would assume they would give unemployment applicants a card that says "Pull yourself up by your bootstraps."
I NEVER got a Single Unemployment check form the government Even though i Applied 2 Months ago!!!
howtobebasic 2 I just got my first after two months.
Same and I have tried calling but can’t get a hold to a person
I got one in illinois never got another one
I'm truly sorry to hear it. Did you get the stimulus check at least?
Yeah you can never get in touch with anyone from unemployment.the good thing is the new claimant department helped me by fixing mine but they said I gotta wait 21 days to even get a decision on unemployment
I live in Florida and I’ve applied for unemployment over 2 months ago and still haven’t gotten anything. Yesterday I had to take a ziplock bag and fill it with hand soap from a grocery store bathroom and shoplift deodorant. I hate that this has got me to this and the country that I’ve paid taxes to for over 20 years is doing this to us Americans. I refuse to accept any excuses
Fbi wants to know your location
😳😢
You have to survive .best of luck to you.and for the record Florida has one of the worst Unemployment insurance in the state
Unfortunately there has been a lot of fraud in many states, not enough workers to process, and long complicated forms. Try and reach out to BBB, and call the governor's office. Call a foreign language line, like Vietnamese, then keep hitting "1" on the prompts, and you will get through to an English speaking person that will help. Good luck!
Florida isn't going to help you. "You should have saved up money" is all they'll say--yeah ok that's great in theory. Your and everyone else's despair is far more useful (and profitable).
I work in a call center and now we process unemployment Claims I try to process hundreds a day as fast as I can
Thank you.
Hundreds a day? Really? Wow.
I haven't gotten anything in 2 months and nobody ever answers:(
Are the number of Claims rising or has the speed slowed down?
What State? Washington States system is screwed up as well.
If that "generous stimulus package" all went to the pockets of Americans, we would be in much better shape!
Say it again louder 🗣🗣🗣
Hahaha sure. Would be spent on hookers, coke, guns and what? Cars?
Doesn't work like that
KzS Poseidon no, probably food because people need food to eat duh
Where is it going now? Trees and Rabbits? Or do you mean the state and corporations? :)
I was hoping the US would be able to send it directly to people's accounts and that there would be a central server with info on who is and isn't employed.
Everyone is blowing all their money on online purchases! ask anyone who works in delivery services. Christmas 2.0
The Department Of Labor is stalling on claims as long as possible hoping these states lift the stay in place orders, getting people back to work. This practice is similar to what insurance companies do when it's time so settle a claim. They have no problem taking your money but God help you when it's time for them to pay out.
That is exactly the plan.
Yeah the gov.took 142.00 out of my deceased husband check last August n Sept 2019 no warning no reason n I still haven't gotten it back n don't know now if they can ever afford to pay me back doubt it but the child support took my stimulus check for child support when I've been paying for my son's 15 years just out of my check not only when I worked they took it out of that to for years n my son's r 33 n 29 say I still owe 7000 no way I possibility could but they say I do social security recieptant have to pay but dead beat dads don't because they draw SSI give them stimulus payments though it takes 2 to make the children we can say their not mine ask for blood test 99.999 father still dont matter why is that
Those states are run and governed by Democrats who want you enslaved. #WalkAway #Blexit
@@amy3458 Dump comment, Florida is run by a Republican. Who now has multi-class lawsuits pending. Cause they not paying unemployment. So when you say, Democrats. It's a false statement.
Facts 100%
Most of it went to the wealthy and corporations. Remember in November!
I agree. the reason why not so many people can get the money they need is because corporate America wants to not pay taxes while all the little guys go broke paying theirs
I’m sure YOUR politicians don’t have corporate interests. 😂
@ZoG Rot I mean I wouldn't be opposed to it but I wonder how smooth it would have went
Where you think it should go?
if those major corporations go out of business, the economy would suffer even more and ultimately, you will suffer more and longer.
They’re not just brown nosing the “rich”, they’re trying to choose the path of least damage.
@@supershroom164 but if people have more money to spend then you increase demand. Which helps business.
This is the unevitable toll on having an economy based on "consumerism", "corporatism" and "false wealth impression".
True sustainable economy is based on essential production.
And put decent taxes on the rich and on on capital gains (aka passive income)
@Jorge Paez who will fund the police, hospitals, universities/schools, courts and infrastructure if we pay no taxes?
I mean they keep saying these things have never happened before but it has happened. We have had major economic shocks throughout the nations history and yet here we are unprepared, underfunded, overextended and a bailout for everything but the People of the country.
That's how the capitalist system work... and yet conservatives would argue it's the best option in the world🤦🏽♀️

@@jlbueno0611 That's simply untrue. Capitalism does grow economies the fastest way possible. Social programs exist to cover the gaps of capitalism. There are many things that simply can't be done by the free market, like fire fighter, police, etc.

I’m making more money now on unemployment benefits than working.
Because we are saving I havent gone out to eat out to a bar since March
Yeap. It’s more than I was making too
And when your local area opens back up, will you go back to work, or will you stay on unemployment as long as possible? This is a non-judgemental honest question.
Eric Thomas I want to go back to work. But I’m increasing my worth through certifications now so when I go back I can make more.
Eric Thomas I honestly kinda miss work. I’ll definitely go back
Rich Americans could care less about other people. Money and profit over people.
In all honesty why should they care?...it's not their problem...it's the government's job

Easy. It wasn’t designed for millions of users at once.
wasn't it created during the great depression? when there were millions of users at once?
It wasn’t setup to pay people 2x-3x what they’re making when actually working
@@shaunoneil1528 ya the government wasn't designed to give 3 trillion+ to corporations either but here we are
Shaun ONeil did you watch the video? Most states are paying between $250-400 per week which is at at best $1600 and $1000 month on the low end, do you really think most people filling for unemployment are making 2-3 less than that?
Jonathan Hidalgo that is not enough to live on....is it? Mortgage, food, healthcare?
this was bound to happen! America is falling apart we need to rebuild!
Low wages no insurance no sort of safety net
What do you expect! I'm no socialist just a concerned American
Let if fall hard
Your skewed perspective of things is half true and half wrong!
1. American low wages is drasitcally different that other countires low wages. 400$ a month is low income here in US, that's what some people make in a year around the world. Things are drastically different here and western countries than around the world.
2. We also have a lot of food shelters, and other programs that some countries don't even have to support those in need. Food banks, shelters, low income housing, rent control( I don't agree with but helps some in short term causes more problems in long term), etc.
3. American's have a lot of debt and a lot of bad spending habits too. They have also been pushed to believe that college is neccessary and collecting huge amounts of debt is necessary to succeed. These things add to the problem. If they didn't have bad spending habits and huge sums of debt they might have more savings and be able to survive on what they are recieving because remember not everyone that applies is always completely without a job, they might have lost one of their two part times jobs and they need something temporarily until they are able to cover the expenses again.
4.There are a lot of safety nets.......they just weren't designed to have so many people rely on them at one time over a very short period of time.
5. It's also up to the states to help out too and as a lot of states are being run terribly financially, which makes it harder for people be protected. The nation can help states out,but it's really up to the state to maintain their operations and financial protection programs to prevent it from over burdening the rest of the country.
There is a bit of a trend between liberal run states having more debt and therefore not being able to protect their citizens more. More debt means more state loans/even more debt, more taxes, or LESS services and less of a safety net or less pay out from those safety nets. Generally Illinois, New York and California some of the highest debt in the country out of any states. Rhode Island is up there too a lot and texas, but these states have lower taxes too. California is doing best out of the three because it's GDP is so high so it has a lot of room for error and debt mistakes and for accumulating more debt. The other two listed liberal states don't have as much running room.

Bochaba please explain how? I'm curious to learn
@@onengkusumah2905 I hate when people compare countries when it feeds into their narrative..$400 a week is good in America compare to other countries? Are you kidding me! This country's economy is #1 throughout the world so you're comparing apples and oranges here.. how about renting a studio in New York for $1200 per month- how is that compare to the rest of the world.. this country would be in a lot better shape if capitalism was stretched so far away from reality..
if average wage would only keep pace with cost of living it would a great alternative to UBI.. keep in mind cost of living goes up 3% every yr while average wage goes up just 1% per yr.. so you wouldn't be worried about giving people money for doing nothing.. for me, I would rather see average wage keep pace with CEO pay but I guess it would be too far beyond the capitalism that's already in place🤷🏾♀️..

And then I say good riddance to them.
Mr I Lost my job, didn’t get either, and I’m not alone. Meanwhile airlines and cruises (which are registered as international businesses for the purpose of tax evasion) get bailed out. This bailout money for parasitic businesses couldve gone to the taxpayers that were overlooked. The stimulus was wonderfully generous to the people who didnt need it.
Why have we been paying these peoples salaries with out tax money if they haven’t done their job for decades ?????
That is what happened when you spend half of your GDP on military and wars around the world and forget the simple human needs of medicine and care, All the country is failing apart

*Keep in mind: The "decision makers" during this crisis all have the means to hop in a jet, at a moment's notice, and abscond to a private estate in New Zealand, for example.* With plenty of food, and filtered water. Private runway and an awaiting staff of glorified indentured servants. Many have personal security details. These are people whom have not driven themselves in a car for decades, perhaps never. They've never gone grocery shopping, or clothes shopping. Nor have they ever cleaned a window, or cooked a meal. Goes without saying that most have never worked a day in their lives. Nor have their children and extended family. (That doesn't include pretend "jobs" they CHOOSE to perform, e.g., Trustees, Board Members, or CxOs. *THESE are the people making the decisions whether OUR CHILDREN will be stuffed into a potentially-deadly, toxic Petri dish.*
Our children's lives mean nothing to them, nor do they care for the lives of our troops. Whom they shower with phony praise as to keep the poverty-draft flowing. Those whom they send to "defend America" (mostly from fictional or blowback-related "enemies") while they actually murder foreigners to increase the profits and equity of the Ruling Class. (See: Iraq 1 & 2, Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Syria. They ALWAYS NEED WAR for their precious growth. Lest this disgusting plastic economy built on debt will die.)
*All so that their stocks continue to rise. So "their profits" roll in. Those profits belong to Us, the Workers.*
Workers must bind together in solidarity. OUR labor produces products and services.
Year, after year, the fruit of our labors is inequitably distributed to the capitalist owner class. As THEY decide the distribution.
WE ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. We have the POWER to stop it. They KNOW IT. Which is why they spend vast sums to misinform Americans. Propaganda built to separate workers. Along gender/color/race/religion/cultural lines. WHATEVER THEY CAN USE to keep us at each other's throats. Most famous of these divisions is Republican/Democrat. When, in the end, these two parties are ACTUALLY ONE. A duopoly serving oligarch masters. WE allow this to continue.
WE can END IT. With Solidarity. This is not the fault of China. Just as AIDS is not the fault of the US. Yet we are being played again. Told to blame China. I blame the ignorant. I blame the system which AS A RULE, AS A FUNDAMENTAL, can NOT stockpile masks, ventilators, antibacterial wipes, etc., *BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROFITABLE.* That is where the blame lies, along with the hesitation to lockdown initially, lest they lose their precious profits we all work so hard to provide them.
Amen!
Wise words, preach
100%. I wish solidarity was easy but people tend to look at things from a “me” standpoint instead of recognizing the inherent problem with the system and unifying. People are programmed to use differences in people as a crutch to prevent unity and it’s obvious this is with intention.
I love this post! How I feel everyday
I couldn't agree more. It's about control over economics and they use race, ethnicity, and class to keep us at eachother's throats. This isn't anything new.

Prices will probably rise a bit with UBI, but so long as you don't keep increasing it, it will flatline.
It's hard to bargain with $0, but it's easy to bargain if you have $1000, even if someone else also has $1000. Because if they decide to spend $1000 on whatever you wanted, that means that they can't bargain on something else you may have wanted. And with UBI people will be able to spend more time working in more interesting projects, rather than having to put up with crappy bosses who got their positions due to nepotism.

"Why are jobs being lost"
Seriously you can't make this comedy up
If you open up, most of the unemployed are not getting their jobs back and the virus will worsen and the economy will worsen with it. Many of these companies that have engaged in mass layoffs have been itching to cut their workforce in order to divert more money to shareholders, and they have little to no incentive to employ the people they laid-off.

Wow, so much WHINING about how it's the government's job to take care of everyone's needs.
The government can't take 100% responsibility to take care of everyone during a crisis. Some of that responsibility has to lie with individuals themselves. If some of these people had bothered to save a modest amount prior to the crisis, they wouldn't be in such dire straights.
I qualified under the CARES Act, yet they keep denying my claim! So, go figure!
I don't even have to watch the video to tell you why it's failing. We tried to push relief for 50+ million people through a system that was never intended to handle anywhere near that. It's called a bottleneck and anyone who spent even a few minutes looking at the relief bill knew it would happen. Those in power just didn't care.

I call it universal welfare. But yes that is one of the actual big pushes going on during this crisis. People push for it but it will keep the poor eternally poor with no way up. There is not enough money to make UBI happen realistically unless the country just prints up fake monopoly money
Ive been stuck on adjudication for 8 weeks cant get through to the Wisconsin UI service tried with thousands of phone calls. :(
There are a lot of boomer lawns that need mowing. They're locked in place until death, and their house is their most prized possession. Find a way to tap into their pension, SS, and 401K payments. They have millions in retirement savings but keeping it for the doctor bills, just letting you know.
So what is the status of your situation now?
In Texas i tried hundreds of times per day to get through. They set up an online system you could apply on, and it only works from about 2 am to six am or so. I filled out all the data, and was always told we need more data, but you will not be penalized for it. Someone will contact you. Two months later i have not been contacted in any way. Then after a while, they cut access to the website. It just kicks you off if it's not your certain day. I have had no income for 2 months. I don't know what I'm going to do.
Unemployment needs more workers and less administrative staff
Clearly EVERYTHING in the WORLD is FAILING..😢
I would argue that it is rather only in the US where everything is failing
No, it's definitely global, and the reason is expansion of industries into third-world countries, which has forced leaders to lower their standards beneath productive minimums.
isaac m no just the states
@@ForestNinjaZero it is, just look at Europe or Asia. The economic losses are not as bad as they are in the US. The US economy isn't built for this much economic disturbance. And it will even get worse since the stock market isn't really matching the economy anymore and the fed is consistently printing new money.
Capitalism reigns as the planet burns and dies

I had to take UI four years ago, but it did not stop me from looking for jobs. It may have reduced my stress a bit.
I filed for unemployment for a month ago and received no check for it and I was ineligible for the stimulus package. point blank this sucks
My dad hasn't got his money yet. His claim is still pending since March. Its frustrating.
I'm self employed and homeless now thanks to free wifi I can stay connected losing car next. Awesome time in my life
I'm so sorry!
If you dont have friends or family your pretty much on the street. Find help, act fast, more you wait the harder it will be. I hope your luck changes friend. Courage
Yes I was in same boat. Luckily Amazon was hiring so I went there to find job.
damn it went through fast for me and im just a part time worker and full time college student, I needed money but I got alot more than I anticipated from the CARE act
even when one is collecting they are behind ----the paper work needed keep getting checks is way behind ---they can not either call or get into the office----my niece took a month to get thru to get the rest of her checks
Does anyone know how to get the extra 13 week extension ??? It was suppose to be 39 weeks but I’m only getting the usual 26 weeks

I live in CA and I've applied for unemployment over 6 weeks ago and still haven't got anything yet. I tried to call so many times, but all I had was the same message "over load, try call back". Any idea to solve the problem? Thanks.
This sucks most for us essential workers. The currently unemployed will eventually get their money one way or another but the essential workers are the ones paying for it...
I helped 4 of my relatives apply for unemployment and all went through without much hassle. Didn't know it's so difficult for people
Same here, applied for 2 others and my self online. Quick and seamless. I think those who complain are not computer savy.

Literally our entire economic system is about to collapse
It was propped up on underpaid workers mostly. Now that means they have no emergency funds so when enough of the go jobless they need government help, only they allowed tax games that meant they didn't collect the taxes needed to provide those benefits. And yet most of the spending various companies make money off of come from those same underpaid poor.
If we had a decent min wage for long enough leading up to this and were collecting sufficient taxes from the top tier companies we would have much less of an economic problem right now and throwing away lives by re-opening to early wouldn't even be on the table.
If people are making more on unemployment, maybe the jobs should pay more?
I'm going on 12 weeks with no work no unemployment no food assistance nothing guys. This is very bad that's all i have to say!
"Why can't the government just print more money and give everyone a million dollars?"- CNBC
Thats what i have said ..long time ago

This will lead to inflation and the value of the US Dollar will go down

Imagine how terribly this is going to affect drug abuse and crime rates in the US.
In NJ it took them 8 weeks for them to finally pay out to me.
The social society interest rate on my paycheck has gone up. Im getting taxed more for working . I never gotten unemployment but i feel like the government is billing me for people who aren't working. Not cool. We need a tax break not a hight rate
Oh helllllllllllll nah I’m looking into that. Are you serious Eddie wow! I care for others and want others to be well but that’s messed up if we at front lines and folks get paid more than us by us 😩
Payroll fixed it .it was a QuickBooks error. Thank you for your concern.
lmaooo I love how michiganders were getting interviewed because I'm also from Michigan and I swear id call Unemployment at least over 100 times a day just to get through
I did everything in this video and it's incredibly important we do what we can to push along support for our workers!
been trying to call them for weeks. can never get through.
There is no way I can get through to the Arizona unemployment department. So I cannot get answers that I need because there's mistakes or at least I am confused about how to move forward with the weekly reports required. Apparently we have two different unemployment sites. The sites ask different questions. And apparently I still won't find out if I can get my unemployment each week that I have been off from work. It's frustrating and I'm getting scared.
Didn’t know it’s that bad In the US.. so many homeless and barely getting by
K C Hollywood has created an illusion that US is a very progressive nation when in fact it is not anymore
What is the point in paying taxes when you can't access unemployment benefits?!
Well for one, unemployment doesn't come from your taxes, they are supplemented by your employer from unemployment insurance.
So we can give it to illegals and other countries, duh.
Unemployment taxes are paid by the employer, not the employee.
@@JayBandersnatch what does unemployment behave to do with illegals ?????
can anyone keep the topics straight ?????

I wonder how the Medicaid application systems are doing in the states that have ACA Medicaid expansion. I imagine they're probably just as swamped as the unemployment insurance system is. Someone should talk about that.
Why am I watching this? I still have my job. I hope it's secure!! Looks like more layoffs are coming due to the ripple effect!
I am so glad I live in California... I was paid and retroactively too!! The website did crashes during the first few days but it was about a week before online tools were back to normal.
Denis Lara I live in CA too. I think you’re one of the lucky ones. I just got 2 weeks worth after being unemployed for 2 months. No retro pay yet either. I did get my stimulus check.
Glad on $164 per week?
nino nikki $437 per week. Plus $600 from Congress
taoist40 I understand. I fill up the claim on March 20something. My job told me to stop working the next day the governor announced the stay at home order.
U glad you live in California,???? Y ????
I applied in March and only recently got my money. It took hundreds of calls and so much effort to get someone to approve my claims which were stuck in “pending” for 6 weeks. Insane.
If a few people abuse the system, some want to abolish or lower the benefit. Let's apply the same standard to rich people. If someone abuses a tax deduction that only rich people use, let's cancel that deduction for everybody for the next two years. That's how some politicians talk about food stamps and other safety net items.
It was build with the estimated unemployment estimate of 2 years per lifetime. Go figure.

Actually, Clinton left with a surplus and a plan to have that surplus money earmarked to pay back into SocSec. The plan was to set it up so that SocSec would remain solvent forever. Bush decided to use that money as a slush fund, create expensive programs with no plan to fund them (Medicaid Part D), and lowered taxes too much on top of all of that. He also did not raise taxes as he should have when we went to war in the ME. War isn't free, but he acted like it was, and kept a lot of the cost of the war 'off the books', so on paper it didn't look so bad.
If government programs never worked, Medicaid would not work, the military would not work, the interstate highway system would never have been built, the Hoover Dam never would have been built, the space program would never have gotten off the ground, there would be no protected park land, etc. We just have lunatics that keep getting voted in on the premise that they'll 'lower taxes', then the rubes look around and wonder why the infrastructure is falling to pieces and their government's IT sector never gets updated equipment.

Nothing To See Here Your comment has zero substance.
I made a mistake on a question for back payment still can not get anyone threw email or phone so I can fix it. Was approved for payments for the last 2 weeks at least but for some reason it says 1 week of unemployment was released but yet my bank still has not got it but the pandemic part has not yet to show it was released so now I am going on no income since march 19th and yet we still have to feed our family's and pay our bills. I know I am not the only one in this boat we the people need a stimulus just for survival.
To the people that have yet to receive any unemployment checks...if or when they receive any money, would it be retroactive to the date they first applied?
Most Americans worship the rich and despise the poor. They never expected to be one of those poor they talked so badly about. Surely the billionaires we spoke so highly of, even though they colluded to keep wages down for decades, will help the common man in his hour of need. LOL
