Unemployment benefits

The pro Trump people say America has never been better and the anti Trumpers say that America is in the toilet. Neither of these positions represent anything close to reality but are indicative of where the country stands today. A good example is the federal unemployment benefit that ended on July 31st. The President proposed they continue the $600 per week till the end of the year and the congress proposed at $200 benefit. Even though there are 400 possible compromise positions they were unable to reach a consensus. Who suffers from this lack of action. All government employees are still getting paid. All retire people are OK as are those on disability and those on public assistance. All people who are still working for private business are getting paid. The ones who are hurting are those on unemployment. Who are these people? They are the working poor, the very same people that politicians always say they are most concerned about. They are now without the federal $600 and by election day their state benefits expire and they will have zero income.
