as Democrats assail them as ‘unworkable’

Trump’s new executive actions to disburse coronavirus relief without Congress sparked confusion and frustration on Sunday among businesses, Democrats and state officials, some of whom lamented the moves would not deliver the necessary relief to cash-strapped Americans.

Trump’s directives were aimed at offering new unemployment benefits, protecting renters from eviction and postponing the payment of a federal tax. But an array of economists and lawmakers faulted these policies as incomplete, unworkable or legally questionable — raising the prospect that the president’s attempt to boost the economy may have only a muted impact.

One of the orders allows employees making less than $104,000 to delay until January payment of a payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. Trump added he would try to change federal rules next year to make the deferred payments into a permanent tax cut — but only if he is reelected.

The tax is typically taken out of paychecks by employers. And businesses, payment processors and economists signaled Sunday in the absence of a guarantee that the payroll taxes actually will be absolved, businesses would be unlikely to alter worker paychecks.

1. Oh Ye of little faith!!!!

What? You thought that all of this would make sense right now?

You KNOW that sometime tomorrow someone will come out of that white cave and explain how the "fake news" and "lying Libs" have "mis-understood" what BunkerBoy is trying to do to save his Royal Throne.
