Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) is not completely sold on President Donald Trump’s idea of increasing stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000.

“Someone’s gotta show me how we’re going to pay for it. I mean how far before we ultimately go into a debilitating insolvency and bankruptcy that’s going to do great damage to our country and do more damage, in fact, than COVID-19 ever could have done,” Brooks said during an appearance on Fox News.

He added, “I don’t think people understand what happens when a central government goes bankrupt, but it’s not pretty. It’s dangerous.”

Brooks added it is “exactly where Congress is going.”

He continued, “We don’t have enough Congressmen and senators with the courage to say no or to be financially responsible.”

Democrats are expected to try and pass $2,000 in direct payments on Monday, just one day after Trump signed into law a $2.3 trillion relief and spending package, as IJR previously reported.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) recognized some improvements need to be made to the package but expressed appreciation for Trump’s move to sign it.

“I applaud President Trump’s decision to get hundreds of billions of dollars of crucial COVID-19 relief out the door and into the hands of American families as quickly as possible,” McConnell wrote in a statement, as IJR previously reported.

He added, “I thank the President for signing this relief into law, along with full-year government funding legislation that will continue the rebuilding and modernization of our Armed Forces that his Administration has championed.”

Trump initially signaled he would not sign the bill and called it a “disgrace.”

The president received overwhelming support for his call for larger direct payments from several Democratic Congress members, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).
