If you deceived your way into benefits you should pay them back to the rightful people - the taxpayer.

If someone receives extra benefits because of a mistake by the State, the person should not have to repay. However if the overpayment is the result of fraud by the person, of course they shou have to pay it back.

Not their fault they were put out of s job

These people had no idea the money was received in error and use the money to survive. Due to the confusion caused by the government in addressing the pandemic, no one seems to know what is or was suppose to happen The state was ultimately responsible to oversee and they failed.

This has nothing to do with America 1st! Trump & the GOP can't handle what is happening in the US. Let alone messing up the Governments of other Countries. No one Voted for the U.S. to overthrow other Nations to take over their Governments. They Voted to have US problems fixed, not make them worse.

Kevin Blount

Of course not! So much for expecting a peace prize. Trump is as bad as Putin

Fred

We LIBERATE countries ... we don't try to colonize them!
