Senator “Lapdog” Lindsey Graham of South Carolina is back at it once again, attacking the unemployment supplementary system that’s been implemented recently to help counteract the brutal financial strain that’s currently being experienced by millions of Americans in the midst of the pandemic that’s anyone but his dear leader’s fault.
Graham has already gone on one rant about cutting the unemployment rate by at least 7 dollars, but evidently he just wasn’t quite done yet.
Part of the stimulus efforts outlined by Congress to reduce the financial strain during this pandemic was a nationwide, federal increase in unemployment benefits in the amount of 600 dollars per week on top of the unemployment benefits allotted to you by your state.
Now, depending upon where you live and what your state’s limits on unemployment benefits are, this added federal amount could temporarily put you making more in unemployment than what you were earning when you were working.
And evidently Senator Graham thinks all Americans are just as greedy as he and his cronies are, as he’s very unhappy about that fact.

In a video circulating on social media, Lindsey is griping once again about the fact that some American people may be making a little more money than they’re used to as we all face down a virus that could literally, very likely kill us while stuck in the confinement of our homes.
“We’ve got to change the unemployment system so it doesn’t incentivize people to leave the workforce,” Graham declared in the video after attempting to offer up an explanation regarding the new unemployment system.

But lo and behold, those Americans he’s talking about weren’t a bit impressed with Graham’s crap:
Our tax dollars have incentived Lindsey Graham to abuse power.

Wonder if he’ll feel the same when we make him unemployed?
— Dave Bloom (@MrDavidBloom1) April 18, 2020
Yeah we need to tighten up on the middle and lower classes because they have too much ain’t that right @LindseyGrahamSC ? No oversight to wealthy corporations but micromanage unemployment during a crisis.

The next time you think you might express one of those fancy thoughts of yours, Graham, just keep it to yourself.
