“His priorities for those relief measures, he said, are an eviction moratorium and direct payments.”
In order to help Americans in need, this is a good route.
Many folks here at FR have been complaining about the extra funds added to unemployment benefits (and with good reason for many cases). Maybe they will be happier with the President’s priority being direct payments instead.
The added debt keeps increasing, we know that. But it’s a difficult situation when many Americans are still unemployed or working fewer hours through no fault of their own, due to local and state shutdowns. Complicated, for sure. President Trump is trying to help as best he can with these direct payments.
Politicians get filthy rich dogging a hole and burying us in it. Every time they move a dollar 50 cents end up in their pockets.
The only reason they ay with trillions now is they have sucked out 99% of the value of the dollar in my lifetime. Seems they are focusing on that last penny now, then what?
It’s a very brutal situation. And I hate to keep saying that giving away money is validated to get Trump to win. But with 100 days away, God forgive me for saying this, another 2 trillion is worth it at this point.
Democrats want to give $2,000 A MONTH TO EVERY AMERICAN, LEGAL OR ILLEGAL FOR 6 MONTHS.
That will make the 2 trillion now look like peanuts.
