Wow imagine that, an entire party lying about unemployment benefits preventing people from going back to work.
Besides the fact the law says if you refuse to go back to work you lose the benefits or if you are not caught right away you have to pay it back with huge penalties and interest later.
Here we now have a study of the insanity of this lie and the logic at which the republican party is trying to prevent extra unemployment benefits for those most at need (the poor).
While i believe there should be a max up to your max pre unemployment pay, the point of this was to replace pay, help pay for healthcare and stimulate the economy with extra money. The fallacy from the republican party was that this was just unemployment pay.

One big reason critics don’t want to extend the coronavirus unemployment benefits is they’re worried the extra $600 per week will keep Americans from returning to work.
But that’s far from the case, according to a new analysis of workers who made more while unemployed.
Seven in 10 workers who returned to a job in June were making more on unemployment insurance than their previous wages, according to an analysis of the Current Population Survey from Ernie Tedeschi, an economist at Evercore ISI and a former Treasury economist in the Obama administration. Around 65% of those who went back to work in May also took in more from unemployment, he found.
Some Republicans and the White House have been reluctant to support extending the benefits, criticizing the additional aid as a “disincentive” to work, as White House economic advisor Larry Kudlow put it in June.
“We’re paying people not to work,” Kudlow told CNN. “It's better than their salaries would get.”
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Monday that the too-generous bonus is the No. 1 issue that needs to be fixed.
But hey fuck poor people lets just throw more money at FARMS!!!

Direct farm aid has climbed each year of Trump’s presidency, from $11.5 billion in 2017 to more than $32 billion this year — an all-time high, with potentially far more funding still to come in 2020
