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.

We need to stop getting involved, but unlike the Biden admin, maybe there will be a chain of responsibility for the money and weapons. There was a reason why the Biden admin had zero accountability for the military aid we gave them. Follow the money.

My wallet is more plump than it was this time last year, and that is all that matters to me.

All my investments are making me money. Absolutely nothing he has done has lost me a single cent. Its called winning.

Max DeYoung

Obviously you're not invested in Socialism. My accounts are also doing well.

I understand and trust the process, not the man, Trump does not get a pass if this gamble falls flat. China, Russia, others can afford the waiting game because they do not care about their people starving, dying of disease, etc. The ends justify the means.

He.knows nothing about economics. He is a chaotic and ignorant president.

Max DeYoung

Compare your bank account to Trump's, then explain economics to me. I'm waiting.

Connie Jacobs

Absolutely NOT! That moron thinks the importing country pays, when actually the receiving country pays.

Fat Guy Outdoors

Please tell us of your financial successes. With all your knowledge you must be banking.
