Congressman Davis Critical of Democrats Unwillingness to Negotiate Relief Package

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump signed an executive order extending unemployment benefits and scaling back the payroll tax.

 

Democrats were critical of the action taken by President Trump and Congressman Rodney Davis wonders what he was supposed to do when they were unwilling to negotiate in good faith with Republicans.

 

 

Congressman Davis did not hold back in his criticism of Democrats calling their outrage over the President's executive order hypocritical all because Trump is "the big bad orange man."

 

 

According to Davis, a portion of the extended but reduced unemployment benefits will fall on the states to fund. In Illinois, an Inspector General's report shows Illinois still 83-percent of CARES Act funds still to distribute. He is calling on Governor Pritzker to begin distributing those funds as they were intended.
