Kudlow: ‘I Don’t Know Why the Congress Isn’t Getting Going and Just Replenishing This $250B’

KUDLOW: "I don’t know why the Congress isn’t getting going and just replenishing this $250 billion when we flagged it ahead of time because the program has been a terrific success, absolutely terrific success. And Secretary Mnuchin and I and others have said, 'It’s being eaten up rapidly. Let’s go Congress, what are you waiting for?' Unemployment insurance claims, Brian, as I’m sure you saw, 22 million in the last 4 weeks? Come on. 13.5% of the workforce is unemployed. It’s not because of what they’ve done. It’s not because of bad business decisions. It’s not because workers are slacking off, they are not. It’s because of the Coronavirus. So what is the Congress waiting for? Let’s get going. This thing should be done in a couple of hours and a voice vote today."
