Yes, because this is exactly where spending bills are supposed to originate. You've heard of that little piece of paper called the Constitution, right?
No one is stopping anyone from going to court. The Constitution is still fully intact.
So all of these lazy people get to have money handed to them for sitting home hurting this economy while the rest of us work!. Trump just now lost my vote!
A**hole
My business is closed by state order. My employees need everything they can get and so do I. BTW I don't get those stimulus checks despite the fact my current income is -$17k (negative $17,000/month) per month because my PAST income was over $75k. But those who are working (like you) as normal get a check. THAT'S what's f'ed up.
All part of the D.C. scene these days. Getting the knee jerk reaction from the left, it's not legal, we'll see him in court. Those on the right not understanding the gig of the Pelosicrats talking point being undercut, cringe. Not pretty anymore, but it is the reality of the stagnated governance that far left and far right corner litmus red lines bring.

Trump Signs Executive Orders As Coronavirus Stimulus Talks Falter; Extends Unemployment Benefits At $400 Per Week. Also eviction notice and defers student loan suspension payroll...
Not that I would oppose the benefit, but I don't think he has that authority. I think he knows he doesn't have that authority too. Once again, Trump is pushing the envelope of executive power.
No constitutionalist can accept that.

So what about small businesses that are still operating at 25-50% pre-Covid (because of mandates and just simple lack of customers)? Many were relying on PPP to subsidize payroll, but that's expired.
Turns out the $400 is actually $300 Federal money, and he's asking the states to chip in $100 per person.
Anybody know if that's $400 per person? Or $400 per family? Or $400 per "unemployed person" (meaning, each person eligible to work who isn't working?
And when is this money supposed to be showing up?
And how many weeks (months?) is it supposed to keep coming?
Don't know about other states, but California has been saying that if the Feds come up with less than $600 per person, they (Calif) will give out whatever it takes to bring the total up to $600.
So far that's only talk from Calif. Now we'll see if they want to sign the State part into law.
Just one little problem: The Calif constitution requires them to balance their budget every year. How they figure to come up with and extra $300 for every one of their 40 million population, remains to be seen.
It will be zero if the Democrats get it blocked in court. Many people will be hurt by that and it will be the Democrats who will be to blame for making it happen.
Once again we have Trump believing he is now all three branches of the government. Why bother to have a representative government when you have a president who usurps their power and takes it for his own? And when you have a complicit Senate to aid and abet his power grab, who is to stop him?
I sure do hope this ends up in the courts. Someone has to put a stake in the ground and say enough.
LOL.
This move is rather Obama-esque. I will conceed that much to you.
