So I'm hearing Biden wants to extend unemployment to September, and with more than $300/week?

Has anyone heard this? I had two people tell me this yesterday, but I didn't see anything. Please let this be true!

1. I was thinking about this last night. This UI is for only 10 weeks and they wanted it longer and

of course not as high as they wanted so I ws thinking last night that they might extend it out. I figured to June, but Sept works. Aug is when Fauci says we get control of covid.

3. Hopefully it goes back up to $600 a week too

I’m hurting now with $300.

4. I am breaking even with 300 but then I eliminated all I can to have that. No meat or any foods

like asparagus that cost a little more. No coffees, or wines out. No restaurant, fast food, take out since May. I mean, I cannot cut a penny out of my monthly expenses. The worst is I have to get things done this year so took medical from Bronze to silver and costing an extra 100. When 10 dollar matters, hundred is a big deal.

2. Haven't seen a detailed breakdown of his 1.5 trillion stimulus plan.

Most article on the plan only list that it includes $1400 direct stimulus and has a focus of providing additional funds to minority communities.

5. From a WashPost article, first details I've seen listed.

NEW on Biden $1.9T plan:

-- $2K checks (adds $1,400 to $600). Adult dependents IN

-- $400/week UI thru Sept, will push 4 "triggers." Not retroactive

-- CTC to $3,000/yr per kid, fully refundable

-- $15/hr min. wage

-- Eviction moratorium thru 9/21

Thanks for that, hope it passes.

6. I Believe They Shoot For A Big Number

Biden, unlike PINO, understands that successful negotiations end up with both sides feeling they got something.
So, they target $800 and if they settle on $550, it's $250 more than now and Rs can think they controlled something.
