ANALYSIS/OPINION

Trump may have just won the election… As the do-nothing Democrats try to stuff the relief bill with things that have nothing to do with the coronavirus, President Trump wants to actually help the American people. The President is fed up with the antics of Congress and how it seems they care so little for the people of this great country. He signed 4 orders yesterday which include a memorandum that is supposed to provide $400 a week for additional unemployment insurance benefits — down from the $600 benefit that expired July 31. An executive order would extend a moratorium on evictions in addition to memoranda that would provide deferments for student loan payments and create a payroll tax holiday for those making less than $100,000 annually.
