Revenge against the small states, for no apparent reason

Schumer, Wyden bill would tie worker benefits to jobless rate

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Wednesday introduced legislation that would tie enhanced unemployment benefits to joblessness levels in each state, the most prominent effort yet to expand federal policies that kick in automatically during a recession.
Under the bill, the additional $600 a week that jobless workers have been receiving during this economic crisis would be phased out in stages in each state as its unemployment rate drops below 11 percent.

If you wonder why we have multipliers less than zero, this proposal is it.  Schumer and the small state governors know perfectly well this is a revenge against small states.  It is the large states that can manipulate unemployment, they control large public sector.  Large states will have a continual wedge to maximize their take at the expense of small states.

This is why the small state governors need to band together and figure out how their senators can learn these scams. By the time the small state governors see this unfold, their senators are off lost on some shitty Godot philosophy to change the world.

This also goes back to Cuomo and the tax rebellion against mortgage deduction limits.  Small state governors, get a friggen clue. You do not have the economies of scale, and unless you are compensated for these attacks, your economies will be extinct.  Tom Cotton and Bernie Sanders types do not help your cause.
