Political Quotes

“I hear Senator Johnson talk about employers can't find workers. There are 600,000 in my State who lost their unemployment insurance just like that at the end of July. Six hundred thousand people lost $600 a week. I go back to March, when we passed this bill that was so important it passed unanimously. There was one amendment Republicans wanted for this $2.5 trillion bill. It was to strip out unemployment insurance so that those workers didn't get the $600 a week. What are they to live on? Six hundred thousand people in my State can't find work, 100,000 in Wisconsin, even more in New York, tens of thousands in Iowa and Utah. What are they to do? We know there is going to be a wave of evictions and foreclosures as people are thrown out of their apartments and their homes. This Congress continues to--the Senate just won't do its job. Do your job. If Senator McConnell would do his job, we could do our job and get this economy back on track. Thank you.”
