'Big problem': Rick Scott frets about lavish unemployment payouts

[RandySF]

Sen. Rick Scott continued Tuesday to contend that the jobless would indefinitely languish on the dole if benefits were too lavish.

“If given the chance to make more on a government program than in a job, some will make the rational and reasonable decision to delay going back to work, hampering our economic recovery,” Scott, a Naples Republican and former Florida Governor, tweeted Tuesday.

The subject of Scott’s ire was a tweet from the Wall Street Journal.

WSJ noted that, with $600 of weekly pandemic unemployment assistance added to the weekly stipend for the jobless, the nation’s unemployed would bring in nearly $1,000 weekly.

3. Exactly. Unemployment benefits v hospital charges. Which one is going to add up the quickest?

So you get $1000 a week on unemployment, or $4000 a month. That's about what a day will cost you in the ER.

4. Yea, Rick

It is a real problem when the families of the unemployed are still able to eat.

Scott is an arrogant son of a bitch and a card toting Fascist with visions of the White House dancing in his head.
