A top Trump economic advisor says the White House is considering offering 'back to work' cash bonuses for unemployed Americans
Kudlow said the Trump administration is weighing offering unemployed people a cash bonus for returning to work.The remarks come as Republicans begin seeking alternatives to the $3 trillion spending package Democrats passed in the House.National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said the Trump administration is weighing offering a "back to work" cash bonus to encourage unemployed Americans to return to their old posts or seek out new ones..
"The trouble with the $600 plus-up, and maybe we needed it in that emergency period, but frankly it's a major disincentive to go back to work and we don't want that," Kudlow said, and predicted the beefed-up benefits wouldn't be included in the next federal legislation. He didn't offer a specific figure for a possible cash bonus for unemployed people. Kudlow expressed optimism about the state of the economy,"These signs are showing a lot more glimmers of hope and growth and the signs seem to be mounting," he said.
Kudlow's remarks come as Republicans start seeking to chart an alternative plan to the proposed $3 trillion coronavirus relief package Democrats passed in the House. A chasm still remains between both parties over future legislation as Republicans seek to protect businesses from coronavirus-related lawsuits and Democrats press for aid for states and jobless people.
