You’re not very consistent, FITS. The federal government “forgiving” the unemployment fund loan would simply transfer the cost to all federal taxpayers. The cost should stay where it belongs — with the SC companies that operate on a business model that involves seasonally dumping their employees on unemployment insurance and picking them up again later. Of course dumping the cost on the taxpayers is consistent with the highest standards of contemporary capitalism, which operates on a simple model: “the profits are mine, the risks and the costs belong to the government and the taxpayers.”
Why not take the $146 million and build the I-73 Interchange.
Then erect billboards up and down the East Coast proclaiming it as the Turd Gateway to Turdsville, USA (formerly Myrtle Beach, SC).
While visiting Turdsville one can go Turd Golfing or Turd Surfing. Nothing makes for a pleasant day like smacking a big old turd with a nine iron or climbing onto a turd as big as Thad Viers, catching a big one and riding it to shore. Also there are thousands and thousands of pieces of cheap ass China made shit, turd’s first cousin, for sale proclaiming “I Was a Turd for a Day in Fucking Turdsville,USA”.
If that doesn’t make your toilet bowl water swirl fast enough, then think of the extra Turd Tax you will pay in Turdsville just to keep the Political Turds in power so they can continue to make sure that Turdsville is as Turdie as it can be.
Yep, that is how I would spent the $146,000,000.
“Turdie” Now that’s funny.
Please, don’t move D. C. to M. B. EVERYBODY knows where
turdsville is and it would only stink worse if it got closer.
This is a tax HIKE on the average person and a tax bailout for the businesses that owe their fare share of this insurance program.
How the Democrats and others let this happen is beyond me.
I heard that Nikki raked in $100,000 in contributions and pledges over this deal. Sweet for her!
Pay for play, baby — but hey, Paris is expensive!
But so romantic!!!
Did she take Michael? Bet he had to stay home with the kids.
SC owes a billion to the federal treasury and has over eight billion in federal funds in the state budget for the fiscal year starting July 1.
There’s where our federal deficit comes from.
You are so full of shit.
Please read the McClatchy story from a few of months ago about the 34, THIRTY FOUR states that are in the same ESC mess.
WHY? NOT because of notoriously corrupt ESC boards, but because of notoriously morally and intellectually corrupt legislators who signed “no-new-taxes” pledges and kept lowering ESC tax rates as “freebies” to businesses for 20+ years.
Those good conservative, Bible thumping Christians could have read the Good Book to keep this from happening. Or, maybe, just one of their kindergarteners simple little Bible Stories. The one about Joseph interpreting the Pharoah’s dream about the lean cows devouring the fat cows and interpreting that signified the need to store the wheat from the good harvest and save it for the years of famine.
Remember? Put your excess wheat (money) up in time of plenty, so you can use it to feed (pay the benefits to) your people in the time of drought and famine. Pretty good economic advice, I would say.
Wouldn’t THAT have been more like running government like a family or a business, rather than the taking in the taxes and turning around and giving some of it back to the businesses so you never get the surplus that will get us through the bad time?
And, THAT is why the Tom Davis, Nikki Haley and Will Folks idea of taxpayer rebates is so STUPID…and it’s downright heathen, too.
Great job General Assembly and SC Governot Nikki Haley:
First you raise the unemployment tax on businesses that abused the system by having frequent layoffs.
When they bitch and moan, you cut their rates. The Dept of Employment and Workforce still have to pay back that federal loan.
Oh, and the period to collect unemployment is reduced from 26 weeks to 20 weeks. South Carolina still has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country.
Nikki:
What happened to “Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!”?
“Why yes I did. I rewarded them for their campaign contributions by appointing them to Boards, Trustees, and agency heads.”
Oh, you gave those jobs to your acolytes?
Heck, Dept of Employment and Workforce DEW had laid off so many DEW employees they’ve paid in excess of 1 million dollars in UI wages. Needless to say, they proceeded to hire high paying employees costing the state even more for taxpayers to cough up. They’re just as corrupt as ESC if not more so. Geez Haley needs to get this agenc under control. Yeah, right.
“If we cut taxes
We will create jobs”
Nikki Haley
Who can believe the SC tax-payers paid for Nikki to bang a boatload of Frenchies in Paris????
