Plus the $1200 stimulus like last time(?)


That may still be up in the air.

Trump said there was still money left over from the first stimulus.

A definite maybe.

I say no it does not include private renters and landlords, It does impact federal low income financed housing and those that hold an FHFA mortgage.

Payroll tax holiday ? Or deferred payments ? Because those are two different things.

One just means I will owe more later.

And to do that Trump needs Trump loyalists in 60% of the house and 2/3 of the Senate.

I suspect it affects landlords cazy enough to sell their souls to Section 8.

The executive orders defer payroll taxes through the end of the year for Americans earning less than $100,000 a year.

How dies this work? Is this based on individual income/paycheck or last years taxes like with the 1200 stimulus from earlier this year?

I’m saying no as well because that’s it with the negotiating with the Revolutionary communist party formerly known as the Democrap party. The RCP has threatened to bring Trump to court, they will not win and he has no reason to negotiate again.

So the BLM/Antifa terrorists will continue to get a lot of money through unemployment to continue their terrorist acts, and the people like me who work their ass off every day will get dick. Thank you Nancy Pelosi who demanded the federal government pay for the damages by the BLM/Antifa terrorists that these Mayors and Governors supported. Why the hell should Trump agree to that especially with her calling federal law enforcement “Stormtroopers” Uh yeah Nancy, those “Stormtroopers” would have saved us a lot of money.

If the Democrats prevent a Tax Holiday to damage Trump's recovery plan by forcing deferred payment, Trump has the authority to Pardon ANY IRS action and Forgive ANY IRS Fine or Penalty while he is still in office, effectively forcing a Tax Holiday result.

Reelect Trump if you want America To Survive.

Those still employed don’t need assistance anywhere near as bad as those who have been forced into unemployment due to the circumstances.

I’m grateful to still be employed and understand why this is being done. Sucks to get nothing, but so many are in need it really doesn’t upset me as I care about these unfortunate people who need it until we start approaching “normal”.

Yes is the $1,200 included? My massage therapist wants to know if she will get paid by me.

I believe he just signed Executive Actions, not Executive Orders, a non-trivial difference.

“After seven weeks of delay and debate, Senate Resolution 4, as amended, was passed on March 7, 1975. While it is considered “the Byrd rule” today, Senators Mondale and Pearson are credited with the change. Senator Nelson (D-WI) states, “Much of the credit for this important change in Senate procedures goes to the chief sponsors of Senate Resolution 4—the distinguished Senator from Minnesota and the distinguished Senator from Kansas. Despite formidable opposition, these Senators steered Senate Resolution 4 through the parliamentary thicket and to final passage. They are to be congratulated and to be thanked.” [8]”

Mondale had the Filibuster in the Senate changed to 60% in 1975.

I think a simple majority in the House and 60% in the Senate would enable significant changes.

This is utterly insane, they are paying people not to work

Even worse, we don’t need to actually pass a bill anymore....stroke of the pen, law of the land. Just remember, one day, there will a Democrat as POTUS.

Not really a POTUS as we think of it. More like a Marxist dictator who won’t have to worry about elections since there won’t be any. At that point we’re a one party system, like the one in China they so love.
