I figured it out

I figured it out
I figured it out
With a pencil and a pad I figured it out!
Seven and a half cents doesn't buy a hell of a lot,
Seven and a half cents doesn't mean a thing!
But give it to me every hour,
Forty hours every week,
And that's enough for me to be living like a king!
I figured it out (Seven and a Half Cents/Richard Adler/Jerry Ross)

Friday, July 312020, THE CARES ACT ENDS! The jobless will likely no longer receive an extra $600 in their weekly unemployment checks. Many tenants who don’t pay their rent can be evicted. And many small businesses won’t have a forgivable federal loan to cushion the blow of meager sales. Government and private-sector programs intended to keep millions of people afloat since mid-March during the most abrupt and severe recession in U.S. history are scheduled to expire, even as near-record unemployment and deep financial hardship persist. Senators Rubio(R-FL) Cornyn (R-TX) McConnell, (R-KY) Paul (KY) Hawley R-MO) Cruz (R-TX) and Johnson (R-WI) have been ESPECIALLY VOCAL that most Americans are grifters, rather would receive welfare than work. These Senators, and the cowards who just hide in the shadows, pretending their silence will go unnoticed, have also done nothing to STOP this train wreck from happening. The tentative schedule for 2020 has been announced. The list below identifies expected non-legislative periods (days that the Senate will not be in session) it is called a recess, an excuse for the Congress to get paid, receive their benefits, but not show up to work, (jobs they still retain even in the worst of economic hardships)

“Ten years! Let's see..thats 520 weeks, times forty hours every week, and roughly two and a quarter hours overtime.. at a time
and a half for overtime! Comes to exactly... $1705.48!
That's enough for me to buy
A trip to France across the seas,
A motorboat and water skis,
Maybe even a foreign car,
A charge account at the corner bar,
Not to mention a scrabble board with letters made of gold!” (Seven and a Half Cents/Richard Adler/Jerry Ross)

CONGRESS get paid $3346 a week and receive the following: Health Insurance: Senators, like members of the House, receive health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. Retirement: Most senators receive their retirement plan through the Federal Employees' Retirement System, although some who joined Congress prior to 2003 may be covered by the former Civil Service Retirement System. Under this plan, a senator receives both access to a tax-advantaged retirement plan and an annuity-based pension. Office, travel, and staff budget - senators receive an allowance for their professional needs. While this allowance ranges based on an individual's needs, the average appropriation is worth a little over $3.3 million. 

The Democrat Majority House passed: The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions Act or HEROES Act is proposed legislation passed by the United States House Of Representatives on May 15, 2020, that is worth $3 trillion in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Trump refers Dems as the LEFT Anarchists saying they are placing this nation in dire peril that is plagued by lawlessness, poverty, and violence, constantly under threat, and at risk of having "nothing, absolutely nothing, left." Have you figured it out yet?
