ON THE SASSE AMENDMENT:
The Sasse Amendment would have corrected an error in the bill that would cause some individuals to make more money from unemployment benefits than they would working a 40 hour a week job. It failed by a vote of 48-48..
“While our efforts on the Sasse Amendment fell short, I am not giving up. Our amendment would have ensured we do not pay people more to be on unemployment than to actually get up and go work a 40 hour a week job.
“If we don’t change this provision, we will have created a great incentive for people to leave the workforce. Under the current setup, some people’s wages could actually be temporarily increased by 150 percent by leaving the workforce.
“This is a perverse incentive which needs to be fixed.”
But I guess they dropped it b/c we were in a CRISIS!!!!!!
