It was the Democrats who extended the massive unemployment insurance program, incentivizing people not to work.

The House, Senate, Republican, Democrat, we came to agreement on those budgets, and that is why the gentleman voted for it. That is why I voted for it, because it was a negotiated agreement. There was give and take on a number of items but…
