Why not give out the unemployment stimulus similar to the way many pension are determine. Suggestion - Max total (regular unemployment plus stimulus) = 80% of the average of the last three years income based upon tax returns. Still leaves incentive for people to want to go back to work. If a family of two is collecting the max today is it not $300 regular plus $600 stimulus per week. That works out to on yearly basis of $93600 annual income. Many of the unemployed (that I have great sympathy for) were not making any where near that amount. Why would they want to go back to work?
