00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:04.800
And now I find that some of
my Republican colleagues

00:00:04.830 --> 00:00:07.980
are very distressed.
They're very upset that

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:11.220
somebody who's making $10 -
$12 bucks an hour, might

00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:16.440
end up with a paycheck for
four months, more than they

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:20.970
received last week. Oh my
God! The universe is

00:00:20.970 --> 00:00:25.200
collapsing! Imagine that!
Somebody who's making $12

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:29.640
bucks an hour, now, like
the rest of us faces an

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.810
unprecedented economic
crisis. With the $600 bucks

00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:36.930
on top of their normal,
their regular unemployment

00:00:36.930 --> 00:00:41.760
check, might be making a
few bucks more for four

00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:45.900
months. Oh, my word! will
the universe survive?

00:00:47.190 --> 00:00:51.870
How absurd and wrong is
that? What kind of value

00:00:51.870 --> 00:00:55.500
system is that? Meanwhile,
these very same folks had

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.920
no problem a couple of
years ago voting for

00:00:59.040 --> 00:01:03.120
trillion dollars tax breaks
for billionaires and large

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:06.960
profitable corporations,
not a problem, but when it

00:01:06.960 --> 00:01:11.190
comes to low income workers
in the midst of a terrible

00:01:11.190 --> 00:01:15.270
crisis, maybe some of them
earning, or having more

00:01:15.270 --> 00:01:19.290
money than they previously
made. Oh my word, we got a

00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:22.470
strip that out, gotta tell
tho all those poor people.

00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.290
That no matter what, by the
way, when this bill when

00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:28.890
the McConnell bill first
came up, unbelievably, and

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:32.100
I know many Republicans
objected to this, they were

00:01:32.100 --> 00:01:34.560
saying that well, we want
to give a whatever it was

00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:37.530
$1000 or $1200 bucks, but
poor people should get

00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:40.470
less. You say because poor
people are down here. They

00:01:40.470 --> 00:01:43.080
don't deserve, they don't
eat, they don't pay rent.

00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:45.210
They don't go to the
doctor. They're somehow

00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:47.550
inferior because they're
poor. We're gonna give them

00:01:47.550 --> 00:01:50.460
less. Well, that was
addressed. Now everybody is

00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:52.380
going to get the $1200
dollars, but some of my

00:01:52.380 --> 00:01:55.200
Republican friends still
have not given up on the

00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.410
need to punish the poor and
working people. You haven't

00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:03.150
raised the minimum wage in
10 years. Minimum wage

00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:05.460
should be at least 15 bucks
an hour. You haven't done

00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:08.430
that. You've cut program
after program after

00:02:08.430 --> 00:02:13.110
program, and now horror of
horrors for four months,

00:02:13.470 --> 00:02:18.900
workers might be earning a
few bucks more. Well,

00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:20.850
needless to say, this is an
amendment that is coming

00:02:20.850 --> 00:02:24.000
up. I don't think it's
going to go very far. And

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.990
if it does go for I will
introduce an amendment to

00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:30.360
deal with the corporate
welfare, the $500 billion

00:02:30.690 --> 00:02:34.680
in corporate welfare, which
is, to me, a very serious

00:02:34.950 --> 00:02:37.140
problem but I do not think
they're going to get the 60

00:02:37.140 --> 00:02:39.150
votes and that will be the
end of it.
