Mnuchin told reporters at the Capitol that extending an expiring unemployment benefit but reducing it substantially was a top priority for Trump. The secretary called the $600 weekly aid ridiculous and a disincentive for people to go back to work. He also promised a fresh round of $1,200 stimulus checks would be coming in August.

The White House floated plans to cut the additional aid back to $100 a week, while Senate Republicans preferred $200, with general agreement about phasing out the flat boost in favor of one that ensures no more than 70% of an employee's previous pay.

Mnuchin also said the $1,200 direct payments would be based on the same formula from the earlier aid bill. Individuals making $75,000 or less, for example, received the full amount and those making more than $75,000 received less than $1,200 depending on their income. Individuals earning above $100,000 did not qualify for the payment.

Why didn't you get one? Did you file your taxes online? Did you try to go to the government website that was set up for it?

It's sounding more and more legit as news develops on it the past few days. I'm leaning toward it being a lot more possible and I was a big doubter.

Why do we even need one? I mean everyone needs more money of course, but the first one was because everything got shut down and a lot of people were going to be waiting for a slammed unemployment system to get to them, right?

What's the reasoning now?

Not a light burn here, just the cold hard truth. Everyone knows Trump royally fucked up the handling of COVID and its primarily his fault we're doing so badly.

I'd say shitty wages and high risk of getting COVID are disincentives to go back to work but whatever.

"600 is too much, people aren't going back to work."

isnt the point to KEEP them at home during the pandemic?

"No they need to go back to work but they do need extra so let's do 200 extra"

So you're saying unemployment benefits in general are too low anyway? What the hell is the logic here
