EI Fund

[jazz]

In the late 90s the EI fund was drained of some $41B surplus to tackle the debt.

Today Freeland drained the fund again to pay people not to work and smoke dope.

All this alleged "simplification" of these programs is intended to pave the way for some sort of formalized, universal system whereby people are paid to do nothing in the form of a Guaranteed Annual Income. A recent National Post article estimated the annual cost at between 60 and 170 billion. And that figure assumes that we would fold the EI tent, so this amount is additional federal spending over and above any existing programs.

Annually. Let that sink in.

They complain about the cost of health care and education but can find extra money to pay people to do absolutely nothing. WHAT THE HELL????

And the incentive to farm "more" will be done till they run out of money, then you can't have enough because the credit market will be totally vaporized. Times are a changing....

Boy oh boy Reading this Almost makes me sick and just wonder how we stop this madness?

[blackpowder]

Most reading will confirm this is what they're up to. Alarming but not surprising.
Can the premiers stop it?
We'll see.
Thinking most will want it.
Bails them out too.
We are about to see the largest tax increases in our history.

So single moms with no job because of covid layoffs and no childcare so they can go back to work don't deserve to pay their rent and feed their kids during the biggest economic crisis in several generations?

Alot of this money is going to people who actually need it to survive, unlike the subsidies to many successful large farms who dont need it.

There are some pretty big hogs at the subsidy trough complaining and whining about CERB and other programs and then they apply for CEBA! How do you spell hypocrites? LOL

Over 1/2 the people don’t need CERB and are simply draining wealth from other Canadians
Yes there is people who need it , no one here or anywhere said a word about single moms

Name one farm getting big subsidies then applied for CERB ... name one ?
