UK debt at record levels. Still the pound holds up well. I'm not sure what it's future is and where it is aligned. "UK government debt has risen above £2 trillion for the first time amid heavy spending to support the economy amid the coronavirus pandemic. Spending on measures such as the furlough scheme means the debt figure now equals the value of everything the UK produces in a year. Total debt hit £2.004tn in July, £227.6bn more than last year, said the Office for National Statistics (ONS)."

With Congress and the White House at an impasse, President Trump recently ordered that people receiving unemployment benefits get an extra $400 a week. The extra funds would be a relief for the more than 15 million jobless Americans who saw a weekly $600 benefit expire at the end of July. But the extra money amid the continuing coronavirus crisis is far from a done deal. For one thing, California Gov. Gavin Gavin Newsom this week pushed back on the part of the plan that required states to contribute $100 of the benefit, arguing that the state would face “massive” budget cuts as a result. So what type of unemployment benefits could Californians see — and, crucially, when? How much? That extra $400 would almost certainly be $300 for Californians and residents of other states that say they don’t have enough money to contribute $100. On Tuesday, the Trump administration modified its plan to exempt cash-strapped states from contributing if they already provide at least $100 in state unemployment benefits. Most states already meet that requirement, according to White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow. That means many people could get $300, half of what they had been receiving through July under the federal CARES Act. When would the money arrive? The answer to this is unclear. A central question underpinning Trump’s order is this: Is it legal? From the moment the executive order arrived, it triggered questions of constitutionality, because the power to collect taxes, spend money and write laws rests with Congress. If the order is challenged in court, it could delay or scuttle the whole idea. If the legality question were resolved, the order would make payments retroactive to Aug. 1. But it would take weeks or longer for those who qualify for the benefits to see them. States would need to set up new systems to administer the benefits, according to employment experts. In California, the Employment Development Department, which handles unemployment benefits, has struggled to process and pay out claims due to reported staff shortages and outdated technology. LOS ANGELES, CA --MARCH 23, 2020 -People worked to clean sidewalks, some wearing masks, in downtown Los Angeles, CA, March 23, 2020, as the city is under a new mandate from California Gov. Gavin Newsom, to stay home, with only essential businesses allowed to stay open, as a preventative measure of the COVID-19 spread. (Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times)
