As lawmakers struggle to find common priorities for the next stimulus package, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) criticized House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) for keeping businesses and schools closed instead of prioritizing getting Americans back to work and off government assistance.

Cruz went further to say he does not even agree with the provision in the GOP stimulus bill which would continue to fund the additional $600 per month unemployment benefits.
