Per WTOP radio.

This is what I found so far:

Some Republican senators say unemployment section of the stimulus bill will allow people to qualify for more unemployment money than they were making while working - creating incentive to stay on unemployment.
Senators say they hope that is an error that will be fixed

1. Trump doesn't want to sign it because he's not getting

his 500B extortion money. So he wants to kill it. He's got his lapdog Lindsey to do the dirty work to destroy the deal.

2. What? They're objecting to people getting enough money each week to eat?

Those working for restaurant, Lyft/Uber, et al don't make all that much normally.

3. This out to help his stock market!

HA HA HA! What a bunch of dumb fucks

4. Does he understand that unemployment runs out?

8 weeks in Va. I think

5. Oh look the sociopaths are at it again. They're now claiming that the "workers" will just stay

home now. These people all must be defeated at the ballot box.

6. Evidently

Evidently language in the bill says people would get an extra $600 a week in unemployment on top of their base unemployment amount. So, the people that are working and are paid less than that don't think it's fair. They feel there's incentive for them to go on unemployment instead of continuing to work. They're looking to prevent that.

7. the message here being that THE MINIMUM WAGE IS WAY TOO LOW

8. ((Sanders prepared to put hold on bill if GOP senators try to mess with ue benefits))

(snip)
The four senators have said they will oppose fast-tracking the aid bill if the not-a-drafting-error isn’t fixed, which would slow but not stop its eventual passage. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders says if they try to muck with the unemployment benefits, he’ll go after the corporate bailout section of the bill.

Unless Republican Senators drop their objections to the coronavirus legislation, I am prepared to put a hold on this bill until stronger conditions are imposed on the $500 billion corporate welfare fund. pic.twitter.com/7X0o9C4BoO

9. But as long as he keeps getting his checks from the taxpayers though

I mean as long as Graham keeps getting paid to sit at home and do nothing like the rest of his GOPers in the Senate that's OK though. What a dirt bag!

10. Kind of like Senators making $174,000 for doing nothing?
