Jon Taffer said on The Ingraham Angle extended unemployment benefits are 'incentivizing people to stay home,' instead of working.
discussed Americans receiving unemployment benefits amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which Taffer said was"incentivizing people to stay home," instead of working.
"If you get $800 a week in unemployment benefits and you live with a partner who is also getting $800 a week in unemployment benefits, $1,600 a week, $83,000 a year for that household in unemployment benefits," Taffer said."The median income in America is only $63,000. We're incentivizing people to stay home. What if we gave that additional unemployment benefits to employers to incentivize people to go to work?""Hunger is a pretty powerful thing," she said.
Shortly after, Taffer made similar comments and supported Ingraham's remarks by comparing the current unemployment situation to military dogs. "I have a friend in the military who trains military dogs and they only feed a military dog at night because a hungry dog is an obedient dog," Taffer said."Well, if we are not causing people to be hungry to work, then we're providing them with all the meals they need sitting at home."
"I'm completely with you Laura, these [unemployment] benefits make absolutely no sense to us, and on top of the impact of not getting employees and not being able to run our businesses, in my industry, meat prices are up 10 percent, chicken prices are up 15 percent," Taffer continued.
