“If I may, I think the Senator is speaking for most Montanans. I know he is speaking for South Carolinians. Let's go back to the 14,000 people in Montana who are on unemployment. I don't know what kind of spike that is. I have been to Montana--a great place, a lot of land, not that many people, hardy folks. They don't want to be unemployed; they want to be working. I know the Senator's people pretty well. They are probably pissed off that they have been laid off, but there is nothing we can do about it until we control this virus, and we will. Do you realize, Senator, that in this bill, every unemployed person in Montana will get $600 on top of the State unemployment benefit? In South Carolina, the maximum benefit is $326. This bill will take it up $600. Doesn't the Senator think that will matter to the people in Montana?”
