HORSE SHIT... the country is already at full employment for those that WANT to work and getting paid a LIVING WAGE. Companies are having a hard time finding workers with job openings hitting all time highs in all kind of minimum wage industries. So where are all the remaining workers??? They are making MORE money with the unemployment extension than if they had a minimum wage job. So I'd rather see a $15/hr minimum wage enacted, a living wage, rather than take the unemployment extension away, to entice more people to go back to work.

BTW, the current minimum wage is $7.25/hr... the $300/week unemployment pays 40hrs at $7.50 for DOING NOTHING!!!! And clearly $300/week is not enough.... but is better than $7.25/hr... So if you want these people to go back to work, pay them a living wage of $15/hr.
