Joe Biden will sign executive orders to lay groundwork for $15 minimum wage for federal workers, boost food stamps and increase COVID aid

President Joe Biden will sign another round of executive orders on Friday, these aimed at providing assistance for those facing food insecurity, protecting American workers and providing economic relief to struggling families.

Biden kicked off his presidency with a series of orders aimed at undoing much of President Donald Trump's legacy and helping those devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.

On Friday he will sign executive orders aimed at speeding up delivery of stimulus checks to families who haven't received them and increasing food aid for children who normally rely on school meals as a main source of food.

And the unemployment will soar faster than a runaway helium balloon. The silver lining is, they will own the results.

“The silver lining is, they will own the results.”

I wouldn’t count on that.

An Army E-5 with two or fewer years of service makes a base pay of about $14.24 an hour. A fuzzy (E-1) is right at $10 an hour.

Granted, this doesn’t include food/housing allowances, but those are entitlements/reimbursements, they are not counted as income for tax or minimum wage purposes.

They won’t be paid $15/hour. It will be $13.50/hour.

Joe gets his 10%

I think some are a multiplyer..

You will be paid 1.5x the minimum wage.

This will double many union employees wages

Those still lucky enough to draw a paycheck

In pre-revolutionary days, the Congress had to authorize additional spending.

Such slow and inefficient processes can be streamlined in the new order.

Why have a congress if a president can executive order everything?

Someone needs to cost all this out and see how much money goes to democrats and their pet victim groups - and how little goes to the rest of the country.

I’m guessing 90%+ goes to white liberal ‘elites’, people of color victim groups, academia, and corrupt union elites’... And 2 to 3 % goes to the other Americans. (If that)...

Joe Biden signs anything he’s told to.

He smiles. Someone mentions if you sign this you and you family don’t have to live is prison.

So he does.

GS 1-5 stand to get some types of raises. Not certain if they are considering locality pay or base pay.

The Jimmy Carter economy is well on it’s way with Xiden’s economic decrees. Then the media will blame it on Trump. It is too easy to anticipate their play book. Of course the average Demorat voter is as clueless as and has the IQ of a fence post.

Biden is an idiot!
The below tells us a lot about him. Its contradicting to say the least;

Biden received five student draft deferments during this period, with the first coming in late 1963 and the last in early 1968, at the peak of the Vietnam War. In April 1968, he was reclassified by the Selective Service System as not available for service due to having had asthma as a teenager.
Biden was a standout halfback and wide receiver on the high school football team; he also played baseball. Though a poor student, he was class president in his junior and senior years. He graduated in 1961. At the University of Delaware in Newark, Biden briefly played freshman football and, as an unexceptional student, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965 with a double major in history and political science, and a minor in English. Biden has a stutter, which has improved since his early twenties. He says he has reduced it by reciting poetry before a mirror, but it has been suggested that it affected his performance in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential debates.
