Senate GOP won’t extend pandemic food stamps but doubles ‘three-martini lunch’ deduction

F***ing greedy assholes

Although the Senate GOP proposal offers no new funds for SNAP and Pandemic EBT, it does double the tax deduction for business meals, known as the “three-martini-lunch deduction,” increasing the reimbursement from 50 percent to 100 percent of meals.

There was another week of 1.9 million new unemployment claims, the Economy shrunk last quarter by 9.5%, the worst loss since records have been kept.

One way the government can help people most affected by this is to guarantee that they can at least eat.

Goodbye republicans.

Ignorant, lazy posters.....

Temporary, Full Deduction for Business Meals

The HEALS Act would temporarily allow a full deduction for business meals—up from 50 percent under current law—through December 31, 2020 to stimulate demand for meals at restaurants. This would raise the deduction to pre-1986 levels.

FYI SNAP and Pandemic EBT are run by the states. Pandemic EBT was authorized under the Families First Coronovirus Response Act which does not expire until December 31, 2020.

So, no need for it to be mentioned in HEALS Act.

Educate your lazy assed selves instead of spouting crap about that which you haven't a clue.

It's a proposal, it is not yet law.

Quite a few non-pandemic allocations of funds in the GOP bill. I believe there was also money for WH remodeling stuck in there at one point. I know FLOTUS proposed re-doing the Rose Garden - a high priority while people are out of work and dying.

But the GOP legislation contains a number of provisions not directly related to the coronavirus, including $1.8 billion for construction of a new FBI headquarters in Washington. President Trump has taken a personal interest in this project, but White House officials have not stipulated why they believe the language needed to be inserted in the coronavirus bill. Critics have alleged Trump is trying to keep the FBI building at its current location, which is diagonal from a Trump hotel property in downtown D.C.

“That’s a good question,” said Senate Appropriations Chairman Richard C. Shelby (R-Ala.), when asked what the FBI project had to do with the coronavirus. He said the administration had sought its inclusion.

It also includes tax credits to encourage businesses to hire and retain workers, and increased business deductions for meals and entertainment.

Under a measure spearheaded by Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the legislation also offers a 100 percent deduction on business meals through the end of 2020 — a measure Trump has boosted as a way to encourage people to support hard-hit restaurants. Experts have pointed out few businesses are paying for their employees to eat out during the pandemic.

No shit, Sherlock. I know that, but so many of your buds don't. Bet you didn't bother to read the basics of the bill using the link I provided. You wouldn't want to learn anything.

And once again, you contribute absolutely nothing to the conversation.

You should really worry about Nancy Pelosi's $3.4T HEROES Act. $1T of it has nothing to do with covid.

Some of her goodies....bailout state pension funds, pay offs to her cronies, direct checks to illegal immigrants, tax relief "bailout" for high earners in CA and NY.

She also opposes any protection for businesses, restaurants, salons, any business from being sued if someone claims they got COVID from their establishment or work place. What business is going to be open to the public or place of employment is going to employ anyone if they can get sued because someone claims they got COVID from such a place. The only people that is going to help is the gazillions of lawyers who will happily file lawsuits that have no real basis.

A few days ago Trump offered to extend the unemployment benefits for two more weeks while they hash this whole mess out. Pelosi said "NO".

The news report I heard, the Democrats left town or something for the weekend without a vote to extend benefits. So, someone is full of something.
