Some thoughts on Manchin's notion that he thinks some eligible citizens don't need the add'l $1,400

5. I always think of a young guy in our neighborhood.

He worked as a "contractor" for an oil company. That is what they do to keep from having to pay workman's comp and unemployment. He was laid off in April and hasn't been able to find anything since. He has 2 young children, his wife cleans a hotel so her income has been really curtailed. The neightbors are aware of their situation and those of us still working or able to, hire him for odd jobs to try and keep some food on the talbe and a roof over their heads. This is the family that really needs the stimulus money. He doesn't show up on the unemployment rolls because he doesn't qualify for it. There of tons like him down here.

Don't give me the "I bet he's a republican and deserves it" crap I hear on here. He is a human, a father, a husband and he deserves better from his country.
