They can easily afford it. After all, they're the fifth largest economy in the world.

How has Fauci shut down the economy? What federal mandates have there been? Everything has been at the local level.

She plays a lawyer on TV

Yes, he has.

“ A medical doctor who has headed NIAID for 30 years, Fauci has treated countless patients at the Clinical Center of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)—of which NIAID is a part—in Bethesda, Maryland. "I do believe that one gets unique insights into disease when you actually physically interact with patients," he says. In the case of Ebola, Fauci says he also wanted to show his staff that he wouldn't ask them to do anything he wouldn't do himself; in addition, "it is very exciting and gratifying to participate in saving someone’s life," he says. Fauci also helped treat Dallas nurse Nina Pham, who was hospitalized at the Clinical Center for 8 days in October and visited President Barack Obama after she recovered.â€

In any event, the president’s spokesperson is a mouthpiece, nothing more.
That anyone would think that her background or lack thereof would have any bearing on the words that leave her mouth at the behest of the president is simply ridiculous.
She has uttered falsehoods before. Any/everything she says should be taken with a pound of salt.

Considering she apparently doesn't understand the Constitution grants the federal purse strings to Congress AND NOT Executive Order, I don't believe a word of her shilling excuses for her boss.

If both sides in Senate will get together and make some concessions only a few weeks are needed. Although I would like to see where you get your numbers that show most states are already too broke to pay. You may be correct but I doubt if your current belief is based on data.

Which means that the whole thing is just another political ploy by a desperate man who knows he is getting ready to get stomped in November.

When the folks back home don't get the money and are evicted and hungry, they won't blame the state when they go to the polls. May he reap what he sows.

Sounds like a bad joke, but they are serious.
1) California has a budget of around 200 billion.
2) Does the state of California's government think the unemployed should be getting an extra $400 on top of the current unemployment?
3) That implies 7 million are on unemployment in CA. 40 million in California about 2/3rd are working age. Not all of these are in the workforce. Assuming 25,000,000 are in the workforce that is close to 28%. Seems not correct to me but could be other factors.
4) Assuming it is true it has been costing the federal government 4.2 billion a week for the past couple of months for the $600.

Does this figure include benefits to illegal aliens?
