I mean, do you think he's not gonna just forget about them anyways here. It's not a matter of him remembering them, it's a matter of public perception for him only really.
I was going to make a comment but this one summed it up. Just wanted to make sure this was repeated
Yes, because he is saying the problem existed prior to both of them. Then you have to look at what actions both presidents took to address the problem and you see that at least Obama tried to do something to help it, Trump OTOH, intentionally took actions to make it worse.
Yea, the money will disqualify people from receiving other benefits,. especially in states like Texas where you can only make such a small amount to even still qualify. Either they need to give them enough to keep them in their homes or make sure this drop in the bucket will not interfere with their ability to receive help by other means. They have to actually write that into the executive order, bill they pass that this money cannot be used to disqualify them from SSI, SSDI, TANF, Medicaid, Welfare, SNAP, Bill Assistance and other programs or it will be held against them. Trump isn't going to do that though either,. so it screws them either way.
So much this. Even worse, his ' one off checks like this" even make it worse when people are denied more consistent help due to accepting it at all right now when it causes their applications to be rejected. The very weak and limited safety net in the US even holds people loaning and giving you money when you are homeless against you, it is that bad. When I tried to get my Dad SSI assistance when he was waiting to be approved for disability after his second stroke, they even counted me and my sister paying their bills while not living with them as " income" they used against him, and said that the way they count that is they expect us to be able to keep paying all their bills because we did so at all. ANY money paying for anything for them via charity, bill assistance programs, anything was used against them as " expected income" even though it was a one off thing. My dad was receiving care at the hospital under a hospital charity, so they used that against him as well, I wound up having to sell my own home to keep them in theirs and me having to move into a small apartment due to that being the only way to keep them from becoming homeless after exhausting my own savings trying to pay to keep my home and their farm at the same time. People really do not understand how bad it is until they have to actually try to go through the process, then you finally understand how they are making all these people homeless due to how bad it actually is.
Yeah, I do agree, that definitely needs to be written in else it's just going to be sheer poison for some people
We never stopped believing you would find your true inner self.
But, using housing prices during a massive housing bubble that deflated basically the year after his chart end is just... hilariously deceptive. And I mean that literally. It’s comedic.
Yes, though Trump already removed the regulation meant to prevent it from happening again, so it IS relevant in that it is showing exactly what can happen again DUE to trumps malicious actions. Not likely that he meant to show that, but it sort of makes a further case against what Trump has actually done here.
He was already there to begin with. TBH, I think that anyone still in Trump's flabby arms is there because they haven't figured out how to escape yet. LOL
Oh yes, because it's not as if him leaning that way wasn't entirely predictable from police threads to social views etc for ages.
If one more person calls me out for being a terrible person, I'll go and be a terrible person. So there!
If they take responsibility, they can't "Own the libs", because it implies someone other then the libs are to blame for things that happen to them.
Pelosi was actually trying to get some relief out there and had been losing sleep over it, The GOP has no incentive to hurry though because they only care about welfare for the wealthy and they know time is on their side. They see the poor suffering here as them "winning". They don't even bother trying to pretend otherwise anymore tbh.
No, you aren't.
