The concern from Sens. Graham, Tim Scott, R-S.C., Ben Sasse, R-Neb., and Rick Scott, R-Fla., is that the current version could pay workers more in unemployment benefits than they're currently making, by sticking a $600 per week payment on top of ordinary benefits that are calculated as a percentage of income. This could disrupt the labor market further, the lawmakers warn.

Makes sense to me. I like Ben Sasse. If he thinks it needs fixing, then I do to. I would not want to pay someone more to get laid off than they were making working. That's ridiculous.
