From Polutical’s ‘s (otherwise horribly biased report)...
“The president signed a memorandum directing the use of funds from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, or DRF, which has an unobligated balance of $79 billion, to provide for an additional $400 per week in unemployment benefits. The disaster aid that could be used would be capped at $44 billion. “
Gee, I’m surprised there’s an “unobligated balance” anywhere in DC!
Slush fund?
Capped - even better. Start giving out checks and tell the RATs they need to commit more money, or benefits will end - I’m sure it’s possible to move treasury funds around as well.
