Wake County NC school bus drivers go on strike

Biden has spent 1.9 trillion since March of this year on who knows what.
how do you not know what it was spent on? It's public record lol.
It is preposterous to suggest this did not cause inflation.
We know it hasn't caused inflation.
Unemployment was paid all during this year and even last and only ended on 9-6-21.
correct. nobody was paid to not work. They were being paid until they could find work.
Inflation is due to Biden.
demonstrably false.
This is why the Dems went down in flames yesterday. people know this. Well, some people, at least.
why do you continue making shit up after having it completely refuted?

So people get paid when they are not working and you say that is OK with you? 1.9 trillion?
 
Trump would not have spent 1.9 trillion in March to allow people to not work and stay home and to bail out the blue states' ineptness.
and what the f does this have to do with the subject of the thread ?
and lets not take into consideration that the red states have been getting more back from the Federal gov. then they send in for many years and the Blue states haven't got back as much as they have been paying in for years
now your going to complain because the Blue states are asking for help and get a little of their money back
Have a nice day
 
So people get paid when they are not working and you say that is OK with you? 1.9 trillion?
um, no one is being paid to not work....except those on Social Security Disability...and that is because it has been adjudicated that they cannot work and has zero to do with Biden.
 

I'm all for negotiating a higher salary for yourself, but i draw the line on strikes. I'm a parent in this county and I now have to drive my kids to/from school when i am PAYING for the service of school transportation. Every single person who walked off on strike should be fired IMO
Get ready, you may have to teach them again too. Teachers across the nation had their two weeks of 'you're a hero' and then parents got an idea of what teaching entailed. Teachers are burned out, and education administration is going right back to the old days. We have gone back to 'there's no money for teacher salaries, we need larger class sizes'. I predict by the end of the academic year, teacher strikes will be in the headlines.

looks like you either didn't know or just want to conveniently ignore the fact that the 300 a week ( to stay home ) unemployment payments started in Aug last year under TRUMP
so how much did he cost the US tax payer

It is the reason we have rampant inflation now (1.9 TRILLION) of wasted money. Bus drivers can no longer afford food or gas. Blue states like New York are heavily in debt and this was to get them out of the debt they had BEFORE Covid.

PS. I hope this helps

Paying people who are not working is paying people not to work.

He would not have extended like Biden did.
 
He would not have extended like Biden did.
we it looks like Congress wanted it extended and Biden probably thought that if it was OK for Trump to have this program it would be ok for him to extend it till the Covid was over and help keep the economy from going in the dumpster
Have a nice day
 
He would not have extended like Biden did.
and YOU know this for sure?
YOU know what Trump would have done
BOY you must be able to tell the future
have a nice day

That's an excuse. The 1.9 trillion was not just to pay people for not working but when you do that the tendency for humans is to just sit home and not look for work, and that is exactly what happened. Now that it is ended, this should change but in the meantime, we taxpayers just wasted all that money, It is gone. Spent paying people to not work. Some were making over. $30,000.00 a year tax-free with state unemployment included. Your side thinks money grows on trees with Biden wanting to pay illegal aliens $450,000.00, preschool for 3-year-olds, one month off with pay, and on and on and on. We are sick of it.

YEP just like I thought it was OK for Trump to do it but NOT Biden ( remember it WAS started under Trump )
doesn't matter what it is with YOU IF Trump or a Republican did it it is GOOD and if Biden or somebody on the left does it it is BAD and it doesn't matter to you if it is the Very same thing
and just to let you know I have always been against this ,
I always felt that the basic unemployment should do it, and if it isn't enough to live on then that would be an incentive to get out and get a better paying job or as I did get a second job and support my family
Have a nice day

Actually, it was NOT OK with me that Trump had an initial bailout. I was against it. This nonsense of bailing out states needs to stop. It encourages bad behavior.
 
Where am I wrong?
you've been shown already. nobody was paid to not work. that is a lie. nobody made $30k tax free that is a lie. Biden is not and was never going to pay $450k to illegals, that is a lie
 
Actually, it was NOT OK with me that Trump had an initial bailout. I was against it. This nonsense of bailing out states needs to stop. It encourages bad behavior.
well maybe we wouldn't have to be " Bailing out " blue states if they got back as as much as they send into the Federal gov.tear after year
instead of the Blue states supporting the Red states we need to put what we return to the states from the Federal gov. on an equal percentage per person
Why should states like NY and Mass keep paying in more to the Federal government then they get back year after year after year and states like Tenn and other red states keep getting more back then they pay in year after year after year.
so it looks like you are ok with Blue states supporting red states year after year after year but when hoses supporting Blue states need some help you say screw them let them fight for themselves
Yep sounds like a normal red state Republican
Have a nice day

and having the BLUE states keep supporting the RED states year after year doesn't " encourages bad behavior"?

Lemme see. people not working. They get paid by the government and you say that is NOT being paid not to work.

Gotcha big fella.

Here in Calif. I personally know someone who got $2,400.00 a month which is $28,800.00 in combined state unemployment and federal money. That lasted until September. What happened then? He found work. Go figure, eh?

Those are phone stats. Post a link and proof.

nobody is being paid to not work. no one. that is a proven lie.
Gotcha big fella.
hope so. but you seem to like pretending you haven't been refuted on this already.
Here in Calif. I personally know someone who got $2,400.00 a month which is $28,800.00 in combined state unemployment and federal money.
no you don't.

nobody made $30k. please stop lying.

I believe this to be a lie. But show me a link and I will look at it.
