Democrat spending bill risks unemployed getting paid leave
Vote for the Democrats to destroy America, or they’ll destroy it without our vote. Our choice. (The Donald Win)
The Democrats left a provision in their proposed spending bill that requires four weeks of federal paid leave. This is for medical and family leave. The standard of proof appears to be the statement of the person regarding their eligibility. Funds will come from Social Security.
From Fox News:
A Republican Study Committee (RSC) memo obtained by Fox Business says the “new paid leave entitlement would mandate workers get 4 weeks of paid leave under which workers could ‘self-attest’ their eligibility and do not even need to be currently employed.”
Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., told Fox Business that it’s “no secret that the Democrats’ legislative process has been a disaster” in a Thursday email statement.
“Despite a resounding rejection of President Biden’s agenda from voters this week, Washington liberals are doubling down on their massive spending package that includes 150 new cradle-to-grave entitlement programs, $550 billion for the Green New Deal, and $1.5 trillion in new taxes,” Murphy said.
“In 10 months, Democrats have quickly built a culture that disincentives work, ruins our economy, eliminates accountability, and creates billions in subsidies with no strings attached. 71% of Americans believe that we are on the wrong track, and at this rate, Joe Biden is driving our country clean off the rails,” he continued.
The House Ways and Means Committee Republicans — the committee that oversees taxes in the House — also warned that the paid leave measure would be a “target for fraud,” listing it as the No. 3 reason as why not to vote for the bill.
“Democrats allow applicants to ‘self-attest’ on the application that they are eligible, opening the door to massive fraud,” the website reads. “Self-certification policies in Democrats’ untargeted, emergency pandemic unemployment programs allowed fraudsters to get away with an estimated 400 billion in taxpayer dollars.”

Nan is desperate to pass her “legacy” legislation, and the far left is willing to cede Democrat control of the House in 2022 for their budget reconciliation bill.
70 percent of Americans think the country is on the wrong track, and the hard left is stuck on stupid.

I wonder how long it will take us to “unfuck ourselves” if ever?
It’s a got-damn shame.
The Green New Deal isn’t ‘green’, nor ‘new’ and it certainly isn’t a ‘deal’, change my mind.
I’m not offering advice but I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing, using all my Fed Debt Notes to purchase things I’ll need in the next year, 2 years and beyond. I’m 3/4 tempted to withdraw a chunk of TSP funds and secure it in Au/Ag.
This insanity isn’t going to stop anytime soon, who the hell is buying our debt?! Especially with the clown show piloting this rapidly disassembling ship. They’re grifters, shuffling paper to ‘friends’ that facilitate their (s)elections.
On that you can’t change my mind.
But it’s free! $3.5T and it’s already paid for.
Like my wife going to Kohl’s and telling me she had a coupon. I don’t believe that either.
“It’s ‘money’ we owe to ourselves!” —Pope Paul Krugman and the other Socialist Sh*tstains that hang on that turd’s words.
Oh god, not Kohl’s. Anywhere but Kohl’s, or one of those “dollar” stores. They ARE hell.

That’s straight out of the D-rat playbook, propose massive handout programs, then libel and label EVERYONE who dissents with it as “coldhearted”, “uncaring”, you name it. BTW, I now self-identify as an Illegal Alien separated from family, NOW WHERE’S MY $450,000?
The line for the $450K forms over here. One question, can I claim the kids, their spouses and kids?
