Trump insisted this week that he has the authority to issue executive orders to reinstate the expanded unemployment insurance benefits, reinstate a federal moratorium on evictions and suspend the payroll tax.
Man. Remember when the GOP screamed about ruling via executive order was bad? LOL. I do.
I remember that !!!
Its not good but when he has no other avenue and people need help !!! It would be much better if democrats would try to negotiate in good faith but they aren't concerned with helping people other than themselves !!!

The social security stuff is insane. The people working dont need this relief-its the people NOT working that need help.
Many are not working at capacity and receiving lower incomes !!!
So what help do you want the unemployed to get in an EO ?
Didn't Democrats submit a plan months ago? I'm all for blaming Dems but this falls on the GOP.
I wont even touch on the hypocrisy on Executive orders.
I'm on the other side of this. I'm not a trump supporter at all but the Dems are being totally unrealistic here. They would rather damage the economy and blame the GOP then do something reasonable. I might even vote for Trump if they keep this nonsense up

As of earlier today, Pelosi was willing to cut $1 trillion if the Senate would come up a $ trillion.
McConnell says the Senate will go along with an extension of the $600/ week topper, if Trump is willing.
Sounded to me like Pelosi and Trump were more in synch.

What... Democrats went in with a 3T bill. Republicans said $1T.. Democrats came back with a $2T offer.
Is that not the essence of compromise?
Oh and by the way- His EO would be as worthless as spit in a lake.
Neither party is receptive to the payroll tax cut. It does nothing for those who are not working. Both sides have dug in and it will be interesting to see who blinks first.

We are well beyond “ damaging the economy”.
Dems blame GOP and GOP blame Dems. It’s a dance.
Pelosi is a damn good Speaker of the House which represents huge variables within her own party.
Both speaker Boehner and Ryan prematurely resigned when they were unable to bring their own Republican House majority together, never mind the Democrats and they did not have the extremism of The Squad to deal with.
What nonsense? Mitch wouldn't negotiate (although he's trying too now. The Senate was busy confirming judges instead of working out a deal.
Now Congress is trying to slap something together last minute.
Like I said, there's alot of blame to go around.
Mitch’s boss has made clear he is going to play ball.
Mitch will go along with most anything Big Daddy wants.
