Has anyone seen the new potential stimulus package? 10k forgiveness of student loans...wrong, anyone with a social number will receive stimulus money... wait a minute even those who are already being supported by the government and are guaranteed a check irregardless of how good or bad the world is doing or those who have perfected the craft of milking the government...I don't agree with this. Increasing the unemployment benefits, making more eligible, not requiring job search....I can clearly see this benefiting those who live on employment and those who just don't want to work just going to see a bigger incentive not to, and I haven't yet seen lifting the penalty to the employer that will pay more as result of unemployment claim, or longer collection period for business owners. Putting a hold on mortgage and rent payments, you would have to do both as landlords still have a mortgage payment so you just cant put hold on rent. I have to say that a lot of provisions will just open things up to fraud, and first and foremost the help should go to those that have of no choice to them have lost their job and to business owners that too no choice to them have had to close their doors and prevent them from being closed permanently, this should be our first priority. I forget the number but the projected amount of businesses that likely wont be open their doors again is unacceptable and I have news for everyone, if they don't reopen you will still have a influx of jobless people, will there be enough jobs out there to absorb this? I assure you there wont be as many people wanting to open their own business after. Last night on the WH press release they admitted that the mortality rate is expected to be way less than initially estimated, Is it worth it what we are doing now to both small and big business and the economy as a whole? and they are convinced this will snap back instantly and stronger than before, I hope they are right but I don't see how that will be possible.
