Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who joined the other three senators at a press conference on the issue Wednesday, added in a tweet that "we shouldnt have policies in place that disincentivize people from returning to the workforce."

Jagr_68 03/25/20 4:08:02 PM #9:	They warn that the formula could "incentivize" individuals who make less working than they would with the enhanced unemployment to quit their job. "We cannot encourage people to make more money in unemployment than they do in employment," Tim Scott told reporters during a press conference. "This bill pays you more not to work than if you were working," Graham added. "If this is not a drafting error, then this is the worst idea that I've seen in a long time." Bitch, $1,200/month is a demotion check for me but it's also a lifeline for others out of work right now jfc Republicans can all go to hell. --- New York Rangers [2004-2008] https://media.giphy.com/media/WvQHBYW0q4TuxdAg61/giphy.gif https://psnprofiles.com/Jaromiroquai68 <cite>Jagr_68 posted [p:936215929] in Lol Republ...
