Steve Mnuchin goes full jackass: Workers Will Just 'Sit Home' On Unemployment Aid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin attacked continuing enhanced benefits for unemployed Americans by complaining that workers will “sit home” collecting the money.

“It wouldn’t be fair to use taxpayer dollars to pay more people to sit home than they would get working and get a job,” Mnuchin told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday in the video above.

Mnuchin made nearly the same comment to reporters on Saturday.

Critics erupted and blasted Mnuchin as an out-of-touch, ultra-wealthy multimillionaire who was grilled at his nomination hearing for shortchanging the same U.S. taxpayers with offshore tax havens sheltering his money.
