Isn’t it wonderful how our dear POTUS completely undercut Nanzi PeLOUSy, by extending the $400 unemployment payments.

She has to be passed out, from drinking, by now. :-)

I've read the exec orders. They cite statutes and the money is existing emergency funds being directed at the emergency at hand. This is using money the executive branch already has for emergencies.

Who is gonna sue him for giving people an extra $400 in unemployment during this crisis? That'll be fun.

After last night’s beat down,I’d be surprised any of those masked questioners has the guts to show up.>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hilarious Beat Down at 35.23 , August 7th Presser at the Presidents New Jersey golf club.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t28MKClkn-M

The Trump team have designed a rally subsitute, bu holding pressers at locations where there are Presidential guests.It was wonderful, the Fake News Press and their running dogs got a glimpse of the REAL America and Real America’s support of the President.

From now on, watch these pressers external to the White House. They will become very popu;lar to viewers acroiss the country.

God Bless our President and keep him from all harm.

We have the crooked ba$tard Dems on the run, all the Dems can do now is configure the election infrastructure for maximum cheating.

President Trump will take 40 plus states.

Curious where you got the 65 million number, I cannot find evidence that supports that claim. Got a link? Thanks

My error, it's actually 63 million. Link

That's total recipients from all programs.

word is that he may be laying low for now...could be something big going down. He mentioned it in his Ohio speech about how we may not see him for a while. Pray for our POTUS!

He is indeed in my prayers. I hope it's just they've got painters and exterminators in the White House this week, but my antennae are tingling lately.

Trump National Golf Course at Bedminster may have been the most beautiful golf course where women’s professional golf ever played. It was in perfect condition for their USOpen plus rolling hills and strategically located trees and water.

The location for major championship tournaments is determined several years in advance. That’s why the LPGA did not cancel having it at Trump’s golf course after he won the election. It was exciting to see POTUS there also.

I do not like the long term liability being added to, here, but, what choice does Trump have? The cost(s) of continued economic damage on the scale we have seen recently, or even only a fraction of that, is (are) and will be far worse. MANY small businesses (and some large ones) are just barely hanging on.

I pay enough on April 15, I do not want to learn next April that I owe 10x the usual because it was not slowly removed from each paycheck. It seems as though the whole tax table/standard deduction thing would have to be revised in a huge way.
I agree, money should be in the hands of the people and I despise supporting an inefficient government. I am just not sure how this is going to work out come April 15 and will have to trust the experts.

I am having a hard time with the mechanics of the deferred taxes. Gigantic tax payment at end of year? A business or person would still have to budget for the expense. Some people do not have that kind of discipline.
It would have been more fun for him to totally abolish feral withholding, but that is not going to happen.

Under the Executive Order that's what would happen. I think Trump is banking on Congress not willing to have voters take a big financial hit having to pay them back but I think he is badly mistaken in that. If the Democrats can blame the tax bill on Trump then they'll do that in a New York minute.

It would have been more fun for him to totally abolish feral withholding, but that is not going to happen.

He said in the press conference that his plan for his second term is to reduce or eliminate the tax entirely. But doing away with Social Security and Medicare is not something the House and Senate are dumb enough to sign on to. Trump may never have another election but they do. And seniors vote.

I would not support social security ban.
Unfortunately that is the only retirement income for many people.
I am very okay with a withholding ban. But, a delay is not a ban.
Interesting times.
