Now lets say a couple were both let go from their jobs due to the beer virus, now you have a couple who could potentially be bringing home a max of $2278 per week in un employment. Holy **** why go back to work. Not saying those affected should not get assistance but in some cases to bring home more than when you were working is absurd.I believe its now the blame game on both sides, and we as a country are screwed. Now add to this a deferment on payroll taxes, no thanks can I opt out, and if not folks you best set what that extra money back because unless congress passes a law stating the deferred money is not due, you will owe it come tax time just like the un employment funds its all taxable unless you had taxes held out.</blockquote>
