Of course they don't worry about corporations taking advantage... geez.
A handful of GOP senators threaten to delay Senate coronavirus bill over unemployment payments
A handful of Republican senators on Wednesday threatened to delay the $2 trillion coronavirus spending bill over a proposed increase to unemployment insurance.
In a statement, Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C., Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Ben Sasse, R-Neb., said that the bill could provide a "strong incentive for employees to be laid off instead of going to work" because some people could theoretically make more by being unemployed.
The effort received swift pushback from Democrats, including Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who tweeted, "Several Republican Senators are holding up the bipartisan Coronavirus emergency bill because they think the bill is too good for laid off Americans."
