"The state has lost significant revenue from the coronavirus crisis."

It really frustrates me when I read/hear this wording. It should read, "The state has lost significant revenue from the the decision BY POLITICIANS to shutdown the economy."

Yeap Trump and the feds aren’t forcing you to shut down. You made your bed. Lay in it ass hole.

None of these government entities have reduced the number of employees or made cutbacks to their spending.

AND they cut off their own revenue streams by shutting down anything that would bring in taxes.

What makes it funnier is the people can ONLY get that $300, if the State coughs up the extra $100. They can't just choose to only take the $300. Trump's EO basically stated the had to contribute $100 or get nothing.

It really pits the people against these greedy politicians.

Stop jailing Gym owners, maybe they'll be able to pay their taxes.

I may be wrong here, but can't the states opt out of the unemployment expansion, thereby not having to take on the "burden" of their portion of $100 per week.

Trump: "Here's a bunch of free money, but you need to chip in." State: "No thanks." Trump: "No problem."

It boggles my mind that these governors can't comprehend that this free money will stimulate their states' economies, thereby bringing in more revenue. The Dims always see the pie as a fixed size. Grow the pie and your portion becomes larger.

Yup, if they choose not to do it they are in a world of political hurt though. Can you imagine hearing that people in just 1 state over from you are getting that unemployment money, but since your Governor didn't want to pay, you got none? Democrats backed into a corner on this one.

That's the problem. It's election season and Blue States think a shitty economy will hurt President Trump.

Also, Blue States don't care about slowly rebuilding their revenues ...when they can hope for a massive Federal bailout instead.

And Murphy also provides taxpayer funding of legal representation to illegal aliens to fight deportation.

I wouldn’t piss on Murphy if he was on fire.

But Lord Emperor Murphy had absolutely NO PROBLEM spending 2.3 million dollars to brine the state's roads before we got a cataclysmic 2 inches of snow. Me doth think Governor Asshat protests too much.

Wasn't that 2" also only in like Warren and Sussex, and Cape May was 50 degrees that day? And then didn't that happen again for a noreaster that was all rain?

The state can't afford it? Maybe you should re-open then, and maybe tell your dumbass citizens to start washing their hands. I've been to Qatar and people washed their damn hands there more than in New Jersey.

But the Dem’s wanted to give 600? Of course they also wanted huge bailouts for blue states.

GeneticsGuy 6 points ago +6 / -0

He's claiming that the total expense for unemployment in just New Jersey would be 272 million per week? I'm not buying it.

Either way, his State needs the money. The people need to spend. If he doesn't give that CARES money up the people will turn on him. Greedy Democrats. Just figures.

This is why brilliant. $600/wk all fed UI means D governors get taxable income, then spent in local economy. No reason to open. But when fraction is State $ (100 /400 ), the D states don't get free gimmies, having to pony up one quarter, so now have incentive to open up and get back to work.

This is where we can flip the blue states against themselves. Tell them that the governor has the money for unemployment but is HOARDING it. Blue states have the most angry entitled people so once you tell them they can't get their free money, they lose it.

It needs repeating:

And this is coming from California. Let us be an example. Yes, it will be hard.

If Blue states had charged people with crimes and made them pay restitution, they'd have millions of dollars now.

  • they didn't.

FYI.. In the Communist Republic of NJ state worker are still "working" from home. Better yet they're being paid FULL salary to stay home and not work, still collect full benefits,still accruing personal time and sick time, still no return to work. Murphy is paying tens of millions a week for state workers NOT WORKING! Fuck NJ I hope it goes bankrupt and Murphy gets cancer.
