Where I live $700 a week is double what most people make working so why work?
The Democrats are wanting more votes from anti-social voters by any means that they can use.
$700 + Normal Unemployment (between $300 to $500+) a week? Why?
Everyone needs to keep in mind that the self employed who had to close or the 1099 people are only getting a portion of that. Example in Virginia, self employed get $158/week and if you make $158 that week trying to work odd jobs or even limited business, you lose that $158 amount AND the extra government money.
