1. Isn't Fed required to pay for

What they order states to do?

[beachbumbob]

2. if states are expected to cover then why is this at the federal level, its all bullshit

trump can't mandate states to spend money they don't have

[sunonmars]

3. I know, its all utter bollocks from him and Trump.

[beachbumbob]

5. its to place democrats to sue trump and they would win easily BUT gives trump/gop the PR issue

they desperately NEED

I don;t know if democrats can maneuver wise enough to avoid falling into this trap or not.

13. I saw Nancy three times today...no suing. She won't fall for that trap. She knows this is

bullshit and will just show how bankrupt the GOP party is morally...and how incompetent...as she pointed out, Trump did nothing really.There is no hold on evictions...just another 'commission to study' the issue.

4. LOL! Now we're getting to that pesky fine print and Dana Bash has read it.

Seen Kudlow look bad many times but this might have been the worst.

6. Oh man

This EO thing is gonna blow up right in their faces. I think trump forgot to tell the states that they had to pay for his EO before he signed it.

7. States?

States are tapped out for money as it is with the negligible tax income it's getting with the pandemic and the pandemic funding of state and local expenses. States are also have a difficult time getting loans for future payments.

First, the Trump memoranda is not legal binding. Whether that's going to impede Steve Mnuchin is anyone's guess. Second, if if the Government is sending out checks, does it mean that one check from them would be $300 and the states would be expected to send a second check in the amount of $100? Or would the states have to send their money directly to DC to have one check of $400 go out?

8. So people get unemployment checks by mail and not by direct deposit?

How will that work if the Post Office is slowed down?

[no_hypocrisy]

10. Uncertain. I'm guessing checks via mail if the payments are split.

[beachbumbob]

15. unemployment monies are distributed by the states under their system and guidelines

not the Feds. The Feds supply extension monies, in that case, its not happening as a president does not appropriate funds

9. Oh boy, the Governo's

Are going to love that! Yeah, right!

[crickets]

11. Would that be the same states that are strapped already from dealing with the pandemic?

Would it be the same states who had to scramble for PPEs, paying exorbitant amounts of money for them and then wondering how to find enough money left over to continue to run their communities and pay their own bills?

What a jackass move.

[still_one]

12. That was mentioned yesterday. Where are the states going to get the money? Idiots

[jcgoldie]

14. Sort of like Mexico is paying for the fucking wall!

Unbelievable...

Hey wait I have another "executive order"... just put it on the bill of those people at the next table over!
