Unintended Consequences Emerge From Coronavirus Relief Bill
Earlier this month, as the CARES Act was being debated, several senators, including Ben Sasse, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, and Rick Scott pointed to a major flaw in the bill that would potentially incentivize staying out of the workforce, since the benefits would pay workers more for being unemployed than for working.
