My Projection is that Unemployment Benefits in Oregon Hit $300+ Million Last WEEK, but California Topped $3.4 BILLION in One Week.

I tweeted about that HERE: 

Oregon’s $300+million a week in unemployment benefits is extraordinary, but it pales in comparison to the $3.4 BILLION paid in California in the last week: https://t.co/uOKQ8DJTOf https://t.co/gEVL32u6NQ

For some perspective the House bill to provide additional funding being considered today includes only $1 Billion for incremental HUD vouchers and TOTAL HUD voucher assistance payments in 2019 were about $20 Billion nationwide and about $275 million in Oregon.
