Political Quotes

“I do. I am going to vote for it, but it doesn't create an incentive. This is where too many in the Democratic Party don't understand the incentives of trapping people out of work. Incentives are future looking. In sending these checks right now, if you make $75,000 or less, you are going to get a check in the mail in the next couple of weeks. That is helping relief, but it doesn't create an incentive for conduct tomorrow. What I don't want is for people to be sitting there making a choice--making a very rational choice. Look, if you are sitting there and saying, Well, gosh, I can make a lot more money staying at home with my kids and not working than if I go back to the job, that is not an irrational decision if you are making 28 bucks an hour to stay home.

This is hurting workers-- to pay them more not to work than they would make if they were working.”
