Senate Republicans, White House seek to reduce weekly unemployment benefit from $600 to $200

9. I agree

In the end, it is a negotiation. Until at least January (If we take the Senate), we have to deal, or we will get nothing (and vice versa).

So Speaker Pelosi can either meet them 1/2 way, or we don't get another relief package, and a whole lot of people will be hurting.

We were never going to get all $600.00, but I think $300.00 - $400.00 is better than nothing, and maybe Biden can campaign on raising it back up, if it's still needed come January 20th, 2021!
