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.

Rusty, I want to help you, truly I do. But only you can deal with your parental trauma. Trauma is not mental health.

Rusty Shackleford

Toasty

Yes, its my local church. Men and women are readily available to listen and support.

Max DeYoung

Most of the people that need help don't go to church.

We should assist Israel as much as possible (supplies, intelligence, etc), but we should not be in the business of killing of Iranians. That is not who We are.

Max DeYoung

The war is over, we won, thanks to Trump's wise decisions, and bargaining skills.

Fat Guy Outdoors

That is exactly what the US military was about the other day.
