Sen. Lindsey Graham: ‘This $1.9 Trillion Package Is Going To Do More Harm Than Good to the American Economy’

EXCERPT:

GRAHAM: "So the bottom line is, up until now, we've had bipartisanship when it comes to Covid relief. The reason that bipartisanship has stopped is because we have one-party control of the United States Senate, the House and the White House. And here's what I think. That's going to end not well, because it's not like we don't want to help people, we just have a different view of how to help. And we'd like to let some of the money that we have already appropriated go to work and see how well it works, and fill in gaps where you need to fill in gaps. Count me in for more payments, direct payments beyond 600. Count me out for giving $2000 payments to people who make almost $200,000 a year. I think it needs to be more targeted. I don't mind having more direct payments, I'd like to make it just targeted. And I don't mind discussing raising the minimum wage when the Covid problem passes and we get back on our feet. I do mind doubling it in a middle of the pandemic.”
