    The PPP passed with bipartisan support of the house and senate.
    While that's true, it's distribution wasn't overseen by them, IIRC.

    Not a problem, Donald Trump was the watchdog.

    triangulation?

    Dems don't "control" (DINO Manchin? ) the Senate until Mitch releases control. He's still the most powerful man in America.

    Turned off by Biden’s approach,

    GOP opposition to stimulus relief intensifies

    If Biden would add $100Bs to bail out Repug BigDonor class, Repug would approve

    President Biden inherits a weak labor market due to inadequate COVID-19 response

    Biden and Congress must make stimulus its first priority

    Another 1.3 million people applied for UI benefits last week, including 900,000 people who applied for regular state UI and 424,000 who applied for Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA).

    The 1.3 million who applied for UI last week was an increase of 113,000 from the prior week.

    The increase underscores that layoffs are increasing as the virus surges.

    The four-week moving average of total initial claims is now back to where it was in mid-October.

    Last week was the 44th straight week total initial claims were greater than the worst week of the Great Recession.

    Figure A shows continuing claims in all programs over time (the latest data are for January 2nd).



    Continuing claims are still nearly 14 million above where they were a year ago,

    There are now 26.8 million workers who are either unemployed, otherwise out of work because of the virus, or have seen a drop in hours and pay because of the pandemic.

    Top priorities are aid to state and local governments, additional weeks of UI, and increased UI benefits.

    California’s Ballooning Unemployment Fraud:

    95% is under Federal PUA Program. PUA Fraud is a “National Problem”


    Fraudulent payments by California could exceed $20 billion.

    New security measures to prevent fraud cause delays in payments that triggered a new hullabaloo.

    U.S. Suffers Sharpest Rise in Poverty Rate in More Than 50 Years

    The end of 2020 brought the sharpest rise in the U.S. poverty rate since the 1960s

    the poverty rate increased by 2.4 percentage points during the latter half of 2020 as the U.S. continued to suffer the economic impacts from Covid-19.

    the poverty rate for Black Americans is estimated to have jumped by 5.4 percentage points, or by 2.4 million individuals.

    the rate at 11.8% in December. While poverty is down from readings of more than 15% a decade earlier, the new estimates suggest that the annual Census Bureau tally due in September will be higher than the last official, pre-pandemic level of 10.5% in 2019.

    Black Americans had been about three times as likely to be poor as White Americans for most of the past 60 years.

    2020 was the worst year for economic growth since the Second World War

    New federal data offers comprehensive snapshot of a year marred by

    staggering job losses,

    waves of small-business closures and

    mounting inequality

    Repugs don't care. Their BigDonor class pocketed $1T+ in wealth

    They want to over bear the IRS so they can blame them. Tax season is upon us.

    this happened in WY too. Republican governors seem to be more willing to say WE NEED THE MONEY NOW than GOP Senators.

    governors are closer to the people than multimillionaire ing Senators who know their jobs are secure no matter what they do.
