The budget for the past couple years has exceeded $3 trillion.
The $6 trillion is just a number for bargaining purposes.
It will be negotiated down and pork distributed to get passage.

Imagine if a family was spending over double their take home pay. This country's being treated like a stolen car by the politicians.

I've read discussion that the Democrats might pursue the budget reconciliation process, meaning that they'd need only 51 votes to pass whatever budget they want. I believe that they will go for it, because it's full of once-in-a-lifetime (or generation) expansions of the Federal Gov't.

We are currently paying unemployed people 32k to sit at home.

Some states, like Oregon, are once again requiring proof that people on unemployment are looking for work or they lose their unemployment. This should light a fire under the cheaters butts.

They are not cheating. It's perfectly legal.
Just like taking a legal tax deduction is not cheating.

The unemployment $300 a week shit is small potatoes. The real theft is taking place at the central bank where the fed is printing $30 billion a week.

https://spectrumnews1.com/ca/la-west/politics/2021/06/24/senators-to-pitch-latest-infrastructure-plan-to-president-joe-biden
The president said the group made "serious compromises on both ends."
In a subsequent statement released after the meeting, the White House laid out the specifics of the proposal: $1.2 trillion over 8 years, and $973 billion over 5 years, which includes $579 billion in new spending over the baseline.
"The $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework is a critical step in implementing President Biden’s Build Back Better vision," the statement reads. "The Plan makes transformational and historic investments in clean transportation infrastructure, clean water infrastructure, universal broadband infrastructure, clean power infrastructure, remediation of legacy pollution, and resilience to the changing climate. Cumulatively across these areas, the Framework invests two-thirds of the resources that the President proposed in his American Jobs Plan."

When I was in Vegas the weekend before last, I went to breakfast to a place I go regularly when I’m out there...”Tom’s Urban” I ordered what I always order (fried chicken on a cornbread pancake). Server was awesome and apologetic. My breakfast took more than 45 min. She kept apologizing for the wait.
Long story short, she was telling me that the cooks and her were working 12 hour shifts because they were short staffed. I said because it was probably they were getting more to stay home and do nothing than to work.
She told me they had 240 job applications and they call them in for an interview, they don’t show. She brought up a great point by saying “they just put in job applications to show they’ve been looking for a job”

Pay people enough to make it worth their while or if the argument is that it kills businesses and employers then subsidize those that go back to work with enough extra $ to actually live. Anyone that is willing to work 40 or more hours a week should not be hurting financially. Nobody should have to choose between food or medicine or between heat and electricity. Today's middle class would have been considered working poor 40 years ago.

The world in 2008 Which was the GFC.
If you recall, it got that bad banks stopped evicting people from their homes and stopped foreclosure sales. Instead the owners/renters were squatting for years for free and the bank sold the property to the Fed for book value.
The question is what comes after this part? The answer is product and food shortages which result in mass civil unrest.
People love not having a job and getting free money to not work. Remove their food and watch them
Go apeshit……

"not worth it" ... you mean "being paid not to"
I have had an employee use the exact words "it is not worth it to come back to work".
I'm all for people making more money however they can but is it in our nations best interests to pay people to stay home? Why not give money to everyone?
We will continue to have an issue with supply and demand. More can purchase goods but due to a lack of a workforce there aren't as many products available for purchase. The goods that are available have gone up in price substantially.
Look no further than building materials. Plywood prices have skyrocketed. Home remodel products like appliances, cabinetry, countertops installations have multiple month lead times

It has been renewed, I dont know for how long.
Also I should clarify it wasnt my employee who made this statement, it was an employee of a partner company that I am friendly with. His point was he wasnt going back to work if he can make comparable money doing nothing. Rereading what I wrote made it sound as if I contacted him to come back to work because it was my employee.

All those metrics have already come off the boil. Lumber peaked at 1,617 and is down at 800 now.
Property has been going nuts for a year but sentiment started turning about a month ago.
You are spot on regarding supply of housing materials as there are still delays and a large waiting list yet to be fulfilled. However we can’t ignore that we essentially saw a run on materials months after we shut down the entire globe.
Fast forward 3 months from today and you will see a chunk of that order book cancelled. People love to buy at peak happiness but once that feeling goes they like to cancel if it doesn’t turn up.

Obviously, anyone with a brain is not going to go to work when they can make the same thing by staying home but most of the people that left the workforce are women and in my estimation that’s a good thing. With a declining birth rate the country is better off with more women at home making babies as opposed to being pain in the asses in the workplace and continually accusing men of sexual-harassment.
As I said, the unemployment checks are a non issue. It ends in August anyway and the economy is really going to return to normal at the end of the summer.

Bait and switch:
https://www.wsj.com/articles/instant-bipartisan-double-cross-11624574163?mod=opinion_lead_pos2
Instant Bipartisan Double Cross
Biden and Pelosi hold a Senate deal hostage to the rest of their agenda.
Politicians in Washington renege on their bipartisan promises all the time, but what are we to make of a deal in which one side admits it is pulling a bait and switch from the start? That was the astonishing news Thursday as President Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi endorsed a bipartisan Senate infrastructure deal even as they said the price of their support is getting the rest of their agenda too.
Mr. Biden stood with five Democratic and five Republican Senators at the White House and endorsed their trillion-dollar infrastructure outline. Back-slapping and self-plaudits all around. But two hours later the President said he won’t sign the infrastructure bill unless the Senate also passes the other $3 trillion or more he has proposed in tax increases and multiple new entitlement programs.
“What we agreed on today is what we could agree on. The physical infrastructure. There’s no agreement on the rest,” Mr. Biden said. “If this is the only thing that comes to me, I’m not signing it.” Mrs. Pelosi issued the same ultimatum: “We will not take up a bill in the House until the Senate passes the bipartisan bill and a reconciliation bill” (that could pass without GOP support).
Most politicians at least wait a decent interval to pull a double cross. But Mrs. Pelosi and Mr. Biden are trying to prevent a revolt on the left. So they are now holding a bipartisan deal hostage to the left’s demands. This is political blackmail aimed at Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema who are part of the bipartisan Senate Gang of 10: Unless they sign on to all of the progressive tax-and-spend agenda, they won’t get their bipartisan deal. And Mr. Biden and progressives will blame them for the failure.
This is remarkable bad faith even for Washington. We’ll have more to say about the details of the bipartisan deal as they emerge. But Thursday’s comments make clear this exercise isn’t bipartisan at all. The Pelosi-Biden political goal is to use this Senate deal as leverage to jam through the rest of their progressive wish list.
The question is why Senate Republicans would sign on to this deal when they are being told to their faces they’ll be double-crossed. Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell expressed appropriate doubt due to the bait and switch late Thursday. Some Republicans hope the bipartisan deal will make it harder to pass a reconciliation bill by taking away the popular infrastructure bits. But unless Republicans know that Mr. Manchin or other Democrats won’t support a Pelosi reconciliation bill, that hope appears to have died on Thursday.

I don’t believe every employee needs to be paid a “decent” salary. There are certain entry level jobs that are exactly that, entry level for learning. Most of the time these are for younger people, but I do understand there are instances where an older person may need to start at the bottom. I don’t think someone who greets people at a Walmart should be making a “living” from that task.

You know we (tax payers) subsidize most of Walmarts employees right? Their average employee is paid so little that they qualify for food assistance and ACA subsidies. Kind of fucked up being that the family/conglomerate that owns Walmart is among the richest in the country and perhaps the world.

The minimum wage in 1960 was $1.15. Working full time 50 weeks a year would produce $460. The first apartment where I lived in NYC in the mid-60s cost $65/month. I don't see how your math works.

We're still talking less than 2 weeks working full time to afford a apt in nyc, and since that's a federal wage, you'd also get that in a smaller cheaper cities

The 'gravy train' is coming to an end. As of May 17, 2021, at Least 36 States Are Reimposing Work Search Requirements On Unemployment Benefits Recipients. It is a known fact that the longer someone is off work because of an illness or injury, the less likely they are to return. Those off work for 6 months or more have only about a 50% chance of returning to work in any capacity. In most states regular unemployment only last 26 weeks. Because of Federal programs and funding additional weeks of benefits have been available. However, eventually these will come to an end.

Democrats announce deal on $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill
Washington — Democratic senators announced on Tuesday evening that they reached a deal on a $3.5 trillion infrastructure bill that they will attempt to pass through reconciliation, a process that will allow the legislation to be approved without any Republican votes. The bill is expected to include President Biden's "human" infrastructure priorities not covered by a bipartisan proposal, such as child care, health care, education and additional climate change-related provisions.
Mr. Biden will meet with Democrats at their luncheon on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced after the meeting between Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee on Tuesday. Schumer also said that the bill will include an expansion of Medicare benefits to cover dental and vision, a priority for Budget Committee Chair Bernie Sanders.
"We are very proud of this plan. We know we have a long road to go. We're going to get this done for the sake of making average Americans' lives a whole lot better," Schumer said.
As this larger bill is unlikely to garner any Republican votes, it must receive support from all 50 Democrats, meaning that it will need support from both ideological ends of the party. Senators must first craft a budget resolution, which will lay out instructions for passing the bill through reconciliation.
Senator Mark Warner, one of the more moderate members of the Democratic caucus who is also one of the key negotiators of the bipartisan bill, told reporters that the reconciliation bill will be fully paid for. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin had previously raised concerns about the price tag for a reconciliation bill and said that he believes infrastructure legislation should be fully funded.
Meanwhile, a bipartisan group of senators and their staff are finalizing the language for a nearly $1 trillion bill that primarily addresses surface transportation and "traditional" infrastructure priorities, as well as some climate-related provisions on electric vehicles, a deal that has the support of Mr. Biden. But some Republicans outside of the team of core negotiators have raised concerns about how the package will be paid for, expressing skepticism about the proposal to fund part of it through tax enforcement.
