LOL: Steve Mnuchin Thinks $1200 Will Last Families Up To 10 Weeks

[kpete]

Steve Mnuchin, the Secretary of the Treasury, came to the White House after a long career working with Goldman Sachs and then a variety of hedge funds. At the last count, the former financier’s net worth came in at an estimated $400 million.

With the kind of nest egg, it could be difficult for Mnuchin to imagine the cost of things for everyday Americans. During a Sunday appearance on CBS’ Face the Nation, the Treasury Secretary said that the $1200 relief checks should hold families over for up to 10 weeks.

[MontanaMama]

2. It barely coveres my mortgage

and is $500 short of my health insurance premium. Fuck Mnuchin.

Just for food? Possible.

Rent? Utilities? Insurance?

[sandensea]

6. He must think this is 1970

Except, of course, when it comes to money laundering.

Marie Mnuchin. Such a queen amongst men.

Floating around in the sky the elite Elysium goes to your head after a while.

Has he invested in the torch, pitchfork and guillotine markets yet? I hear they will be making a killing on those.

What a sniveling disgrace the wealthy can be, especially when they open their twittering gobs to spew a fallacy. Is that in now? Posh?

[sheshe2]

10. Really?

[procon]

11. There's a man who has never gone grocery shopping,

never had to pay his own utility bills, or buy new tires for the family car.

[panader0]

12. $14.28 cents a day. Who can't live on that?

[klook]

13. Rep. Katie Porter can probably set him straight

from Fatherly.com, 4/12/2019:

Being a parent is hard. But being a single parent is even harder—especially when it comes to finances. That’s why Democrat representative Katie Porter broached the subject on Wednesday when she directly questioned JP Morgan Chase CEO Jaime Dimon about how a single parent could make a living on Chase’s low wages.

Porter started by describing a hypothetical scenario based on a real job listing posted for a bank teller position at Chase Bank. She broke down exactly what the single parent employee would spend her $2,425 a month on if she lived in a one-bedroom apartment in Irvine, Calif.

According to Porter’s math, the parent (in this case, a mom) would be left with a $567 deficit per month. She asked Dimon, “How should she manage this budget shortfall while she’s working full-time at your bank?”

24. Katie Porter is diamonds. Love her. Love. nt

14. I'll be happy to see that fucker living under a bridge

for the rest of his life.

[rzemanfl]

19. Think of the poor Trolls! No, wait, nevermind.

It's a good fit.

[renate]

15. It's almost like people making decisions about our lives should know what our lives are like

I’m not being snarky.

If this is the way they think, they cannot be trusted to make decisions on our behalf. They just can’t.

Obviously, these decisions aren’t being made on our behalf but to just keep the torches and pitchforks to a minimum on their behalf, but they should at least know enough to do that effectively, for their own sakes if not for ours.

16. Lucille Bluth...

[DFW]

18. Families WHERE?

Malawi?

[The Magistrate]

20. Well, Ma'am, Let's See Him And That FinDom Queen He Married Do It Then

Those creatures couldn't last a day on $1200....

32. I used to like her character when she played the detective on "Cold Case".

I guess she got tired of working for a living as an actress.

[Me.]

21. That's Almost1 Month's Rent For A Lot People

[Wellstone ruled]

23. That is the going rent for

one of Mnuchin's Houses here in the Vegas Valley. BTW,he charges a late fee and after the 15th he hits you with a 3 day eviction as well as court costs .

[Me.]

25. What A Guy

we need a vomit smilie

[Sunriser13]

28. This one?

Open the reply smilies, then the three dots next to the candle to expand them further.

[Me.]

29. LOL

[Me.]

31. That's Too Polite For The Occasion

I was thinking more fulsome

[Sunriser13]

33. Sorry - you're right.

But our monitors aren't large enough to display the bile-laden puddle necessary for proper illustration.

[tclambert]

22. There you go, taking quotes out of context again. He obviously meant a family

of gerbils. You can support a lot of gerbils on $120 a week.

Obviously he couldn't have meant people. A family of four couldn't afford Big Macs and small orders of fries once a day for that much. ($3.99 + $1.19) x 4 x 70 = $1,450.40

Maybe if you limit the kids to Happy Meals, only one per day, or you skip eating altogether on Tuesdays, then maybe.

You wanna pay rent or utility bills? You greedy taker!

[Midnight Writer]

26. I bet his wife spends $1200 on soap and water and perfume to clean up every time he touches her.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. Mnunchin probably spends $1200 going out to dinner.

[Blue_true]

30. $1200 won't even pay one month's rent for many urban dwellers. nt
