As stimulus talks collapsed, the president signed a series of executive actions that appear untenable and would likely have limited impact on workers.
. “An executive action seeking to essentially create a new unemployment benefit out of thin air will almost certainly be challenged in court. And as Mr. Trump’s own aides concede, the orders will not provide any aid to small businesses, state and local governments or low- and middle-income workers.”
“If job growth slows further, and millions of unemployed Americans struggle to make ends meet, Tankersley added, “he will need to make the case for why the symbolism of acting alone won out over the farther-reaching effects of cutting a deal.” Trump said that if reelected in November, he would extend the payroll tax deferral, “make permanent cuts to the payroll tax,” which funds Social Security and Medicare benefits, and find a way to “terminate” what is owed. That probably won’t happen—or shouldn’t, as it would undermine power vested in Congress to make laws about taxes and spending.
