On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox Business Network’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) reacted to the push to raise direct payments to $2,000 by stating that more than $2,000 could have gotten out if unemployment benefits had been increased months ago, “what the Democrats are trying to do with this is to put us on a pathway to a guaranteed minimum income, which is one of their socialist agenda items.” And that “aid should be targeted. … [T]here is no way you’re ever going to outbid the Democrats.”
