The only suggestion I...I love both of these ideas. The only suggestion I'd have is to let anybody in on it, regardless of whether they're unemployed.<br /><br />Honestly, I don't expect that I'll ever see a dime of my social security benefits - they'll all be taxed or eliminated by the time I get to them. And the "lockbox" has been empty and paid for by the general fund for so long that no one remembers that that's not how it's supposed to work.<br /><br />So if they let me, I'd take that payment every month until my "account" was empty. I'd be much more likely to see the benefit now, rather than later. This might teach everyone some decent lessons.<br /><br />And if it reduces the funding flowing to my state from the feds, it might even teach them a lesson too. (OK - I'll admit that expecting anyone to learn anything here is a reach, but it's still nice to ponder.)Cordolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944796567238311642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-49773727156839357642020-08-02T14:31:17.530-04:002020-08-02T14:31:17.530-04:00A very good idea.

Let the federal government continue the weekly unemployment checks but deduct that amount from the money the feds send each state. That way the people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own aren't penalized but the governors get to pay the price for their illegal actions.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747402582087566633noreply@blogger.com
