Unemployment benefits for millions of Americans will end today i because Trump still hasn't signed the pandemic relief bill -- which extends the amount of time people can collect unemployment benefits until March and revives supplemental benefits for millions of Americans at $300 a week. Even if Trump signs the bill today, states would still need time to reprogram their computer systems to account for the new law.
So what is Trump waiting for? Attention. He’s holed up in Mar-a-Lago -- alone, angry, petulant, and furious that he’s leaving office in a few weeks. And he doesn’t care if millions suffer. I think he’s holding up this bill because he can – just like he pardoned a host of convicted liars crooked politicians, and child-killing war criminals because he can. He's that cruel.
What do you think?
