#3 Mnuchin’s comments come as Republican politicians have ramped up warnings that the recent boost in jobless benefits amid COVID-19 will "push unemployment higher," as many individuals are able to collect more money through the unemployment programs than they made while on the job.

Duh. Pushing unemployment higher was the entire point of this perverse incentive the Democrats engineered. Get as many people out of work as possible, and entice them to stay out of work and remain on the government dole.

Democrats really do love poor people; that's why all their policies are aimed at creating as many of them as possible.
