Today after Democrats' devastating job's report, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce joined State Governors, Main Street businesses, and other constituent groups in sounding the alarm that federal unemployment benefits are keeping Americans on the sidelines. The Chamber of Commerce called for an end to the $300 weekly jobless aid in President Biden's runaway spending package.
The report confirmed what House Ways and Means Committee Republican Leader Kevin Brady (R-TX) has been saying all along: Democrats are sabotaging our jobs recovery by promising higher taxes on local businesses that will drive jobs overseas, and by paying workers more to stay home than return to work.
This week, South Carolina and Montana moved to opt out of federal unemployment programs as state businesses struggle to fill jobs, and it's likely other states may follow.
