American Rescue Plan is a disaster for Chicago businesses

House Democrats, like Lauren Underwood and Sean Casten, claimed the American Rescue Plan would put workers back on the job.

Instead, the United States posted the biggest jobs report miss in 23 years because it turns out when you pay people not to work, they don’t work.

In Chicago, businesses are offering signing bonuses but are still struggling to find workers. According to the National Federation of Independent Business chief economist Bill Dunkelberg this is because “a lot of people on unemployment are happy because they are getting paid more on unemployment benefits than they think they can get from a job, or going back to their old job.”

Lauren Underwood and Sean Casten’s socialist agenda isn’t putting people back on the job, it’s destroying Chicago’s small businesses and the economy.
