House passes $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill with $1,400 checks, vaccine funding

The package passed the House but a provision to raise the minimum wage is likely to die in the Senate before it lands on President Biden's desk.

Let's hope it does die in the senate. What a piece of crap.

But they paid it back??

Will the unions????

 

[slavenomore]

Did the pension relief go through?
How much will the funds get?
Is it a lump sum? Is it once and done?
And how much will it improve checks to individual pension recipients?

Not really, Biden is planning for at least 1 million illegal immigrants to enter the USA from now until 12/31/21. We already have 14,000 unescorted children at the border right now. Biden expects at least 7 million new illegal immigrants over the next 4 years.

Good news for employers is this will drive down wages. Trump failed the swamp by 'artificially' keeping the labor market tight by ending most illegal and some legal immigration. Hence the hate for Trump by US Corporations and the US Chamber of Commerce. Most large companies supported Biden in 2020. Wall St handed over $80 million to Biden and just $9 million to Trump. Why?

With over $100 million from America's unions Joe Biden will drive down US workers wages and throw some of the union members a bone by bailing out portions of some pensions.

US workers wages increased every year under Trump adding over $7,000 of wealth to average Americans. After 8 years of Obama the average Americans wealth increased a total of $800

So thank your unions and those that supported Biden when you wages stagnate as they did for 8 years of Obama.

It will be too late to recover once this damage will is done.

Good news is Joe Biden supports free healthcare for those millions of illegal immigrants...

You stagnant wages can pay for that too..

Hopefully it is a once and done check so we can cut ties to Biden and get rid of him.
Take the money and run.

Reports are that , basically- every pension check paid over the next 30 yrs will be funded by the US Government/taxpayer (who will never pay it back).

Thank your kids for me....

This would be a good time to increase benefits, they got the taxpayers on the hook, might as well gut them.

Will the unions????

Did you send back the $600? Will you send back the $1400? Will you stop accepting your TENJ pension checks?

I don't think benefits can't be raised.

Who cares. It’s about time the government actually does more to help the backbone of this country. Lord knows they send enough money overseas....

 

[SuperCourse]

I don't think benefits can't be raised.

Assuming the double negative was unintentional, when inflation rages, as it will, the future retirees are locked in as the buying power of their pension diminishes?

 

[SuperCourse]

Who cares. It’s about time the government actually does more to help the backbone of this country. Lord knows they send enough money overseas....

The funds for help to a tiny segment of the backbone will be extracted from the tens of millions of workers that make up that backbone and have no pension at all. So don't try to make it sound noble.

At trillions in debt we will crash eventually. It can't go on forever.
And the way they think.....this money will go right back to them in one way or other anyways.
They're going for bust.
And if they're gonna give money to every dumb thing under the sun.
This is one issue I have no problem with them correcting.
The big shots in government and business created this whole issue.
And they can take responsibility and make it right. You and others put every ungodly hour and minute into making this economy go and should not be gypped of what was to be there.
They wanted the unions busted. They wanted control of the industry and profits.
They got that. Wrecked the whole industry and had the gall to knowingly destroy the pensions of guys who put their whole lives into it.
This is one of the only issues I will support the Democrats on. Hopefully it's a once and done check....and then put all energy into ridding the world of Biden and most Democrat policy in our government.
The bank will break soon...get it while it lasts. They're not stopping. That's obvious.
