WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is ending the gravy train for the idle rich after a shockingreportrevealed that individuals earning more than a million dollars annually received over $271 million in unemployment insurance during the first two years of the Biden administration.
Senate DOGE Caucus Chair Ernst’sEndingUnemployment Payments to Jobless Millionaires Actwill disqualify anyone making a million dollars or more from being eligible for unemployment income support.
“Our nation’s safety net shouldn’t be strained by subsidizing the lifestyles of the self-sufficient,”said Ernst. “Able-bodied millionaires shouldn’t expect handouts paid for by overtaxed and overworked Americans. The freebies for free-loading fat cats are over.”
