President Trump is proposing a 0 payroll tax the rest of the year.

A married couple making $100,000 a year would have over $500 a month under President Trump the rest of the year.
I think we are going to see a roller coaster.

Didn't he announce it yesterday?

And didn't they just announce there is no agreement yet on a plan?

I'm confused. I think your timing is off.

You maybe just found out about Trump's statements yesterday and think that's why we are on this roller coaster.

Not sure it matches.

It looks that a couple making around $100,000 with two-average waged full-time jobs near the average wage would have about $400 a month more of spending as we are still just over 2 months into the year and President Trump is just proposing this till the end of the year.

Still, thats food or a car payment on a new car.

The federal reserve buying United States treasuries.

This will drive up deficits, but Sanders and Biden have plans that would drive up the deficits much more.

At this point, who cares why not just excel the inevitable to keep things good in the short-term.

Pandering. Trump is desperate because he looks foolish with his handling of the virus. So when all else fails, buy some votes.

Talk about buying votes.

"Until after the election". How convenient.
