"The more we examine the bipartisan Senate infrastructure deal, the worse its details look. Consider its plan to pay for new spending in part with unemployment-benefit savings from GOP states that are recovering faster economically and ending the $300 federal bonus... Meanwhile, California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York mopped up 40% of benefit payments during the first quarter, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The budget savings would be much greater if Democratic states ended their bonus, but they want to keep taking federal cash, even though it pays millions of Americans more not to work than to take a job."
We need to take note of any R who votes for this sleight of hand. They need to be Kinzingered.

Simple vote buying with other peoples money. Nothing new here.
Riverbender–Illinois is doubling down with its new “WORKSHARE” program, if worken full time is to much for you, you can work part time and still keep your unemployment benefits….as illinois competes for top welfare state on the fed dime. And if ur 9-to-5ing it in the private sector your a joke
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
