McSally Voted AGAINST Including Enhanced Unemployment Benefits in CARES Act

“Arizona, relief is finally on the way!” McSally said.“This package sends cash directly to Arizonans to support their basic needs while they stay at home to prevent the spread of coronavirus. This bill also expands unemployment benefits for those laid off due to this unprecedented pandemic.”

But you shouldn’t thank Appointed Senator McSally for those expanded benefits. Just the opposite.

A GOP amendment was proposed during reconciliation of the House and Senate versions of the CARES Act to strip those expanded unemployment benefits out of the final bill. McSally voted for that amendment stripping the benefits out of the two trillion dollar bill, along with all but two of her caucus members.

Now she’s bragging that she “secured‘ those benefits for Arizonans suffering job loss due to the epidemic! Her actual vote says otherwise. She’s straight-out lying to Arizona’s workers.

McSally consistently sides with big corporate employers, who want to keep workers needy and immiserated through this crisis. McSally is no friend to working people.

McSally’s lying imposture during this terrifying crisis should outrage Arizona’s voters. McSally consistently votes to bail out corporations and investors while voting against direct benefits to real PEOPLE who are suffering and desperate.

McSally only faithfully represents the commanding heights of the economy, not Arizona’s working citizens. Fortunately, Arizona’s real people have a chance to remedy her appointment by Governor Ducey. Exercise your right to vote. If you aren’t on the Permanent Early Voter Registry, so that you ensure your right to vote amid this madness, why not?

  1. I’m getting very concerned about our ability to rid ourselves of Appointed Martha in November.

    With the way things are, Mark Kelly is going to be limited mostly to TV Ads, social media, and direct mail to build name recognition. This means he is going to need some very attention grabbing ads, videos, etc… and I just haven’t seen that so far.

    Last night I saw his TV ad for prescription drugs. It’s kind of a no brainer that we need to get the price of prescription drugs lowered and Mark sitting in a living room talking is just not that exciting. I know he’s endorsed Joe Biden so he can’t do anything interesting on healthcare because Joe is in love with the ACA.

    But someone needs to tell Mark he’s got to kick it up a few notches because this is all there is, the only chance he/we have got.

  2. It appears that the moderators of this blog can’t handle comments that point out the lies that they tell.

      I have comments held up all the time if I post something too long or include a link, sometimes spam bots try to get links to dicey websites, so there are built in safeguards to protect the readers.

      Interesting handle, thought, “AZ Nativo”, because the “natives” in Arizona are all from Mexico or Native tribes.

      All us white folks came later.

      History is fun!
