Mnuchin said the president's executive actions may address at least three relief programs that were established in previous coronavirus legislation:: A $600 weekly unemployment benefit expired July 31, leaving many out-of-work Americans in a state of financial limbo. It's unclear whether the president may extend the benefit or lower it to a smaller amount, something many Republicans have requested.
Both sides had set a self-imposed deadline to come to an agreement by Friday. And the president, later Friday, said the White House would be"going in a different way." Republicans, in their own proposed stimulus package, had set aside nothing for local governments that saw their revenues gutted due to the pandemic. They argued many of the states needing funds were run by Democrats who for years had poorly managed budgets. The White House upped their offer to $150 billion during the negotiations, but it was quickly turned down by Democrats.
When asked about the next steps on a bill, Pelosi said she asked White House negotiators to come back"when you are ready to give us a higher number."
Truly the most incompetent corrupt vile administration in USA history! Mnuchin profited taking peoples homes during the great recession & while in office taking taxpayers $ for personal benefit! GOP didn’t give a shit about deficits tax giveaway to wealthiest & sat on Dem Bill👎🏾
I don't know why ProjectLincoln hasn't been blasting this all over the media by now. Oh, that's right! TLP is run by republicans too! All they care about is getting rid of Trump but they 💕the GOP. Once he's an afterthought, these guys will go right back to attacking Democrats.
Nancy suggested he do an executive order before any Republican spoke up. You're supposed to be unbiased as news reporters, get your act together!
Keep talking...
Of course, this is all orchestrated to let trump ride in on his white horse to save the day with an executive order! The name of the horse is 'Save the Failing Campaign. '
Illegal. The House appropriates funds.
Trump president?
IT'S OUTRAGEOUS! It's known that the side effects of corruption in Brazil kill more people than any disease! And the high number of deaths by Covid-19 is also due to corruption! Even though, the Supreme Court and the AG act to make the fight against corruption unfeasible!
He'll have to...Congress led by Pelosi and Igor Schumer care more about the pork in the bill than the American families and businesses they ruined by politicizing a flu virus...JUST to get rid of 1 man, their President. Where is Darth Obama now?
The KING shall rule!!! Even though that is not how this republic isn’t suppose to operate that way.
Not good enough. Executive orders is not how our government is supposed to work.
Who is going to tell him that Congress holds the purse strings?
So the gop is stonewalling so they can allow trump to swoop in and save the day with programs that are part of what the Dems already want included? Just prior to the election? Not surprised.
The only executive order that would be good is an order to cancel all charges for rent, mortgage, electricity, water, internet, property tax, healthcare, medicine, car 🚘 insurance, and college.
Apparently Mitch McConnell has lost all self respect and taken the senate and house along with him. No deal after three months so he abdicated the role in the constitution he swore to uphold. Only Congress can allocate public money. My taxes are not a personal slush fund of WH!
'....he will recommend Trump president to make' What ever happened to journalism? Don't you fucking people ever proof-read?
He could order an evictions ban, but hard to see how he continues benefits. Congress not POTUS has power of the purse. And eviction ban will be unpopular with his GOP handlers.
Pelosi won’t relent on the repeal of the SALT cap which would give a huge tax break for millionaires especially in high tax blue states.
So neat to see both sides grandstanding while Americans suffer.
They want the OPTICS of Trump doing this. That’s why this bill was seating on Mitch’s desk for 2 months.
Congress holds the power of the purse, particularly important when we need to oversee a guy with so many bankruptcies.

UT, Since the President only wants to WELFARE BILLIONS into Wall Street instead of HELPING Citizens on Main Street, IS HE SENDING THE MESSAGE FOR ALL citizens in dire straights TO BEGIN TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY INSTEAD OF FACING FORECLOSURE OR EVICTION? As he instructed NY to do!
Is there anything to be done to curtail the use of Executive Orders that are being used for anything Trump feels like doing?
I don’t believe the president can expend that amount of money without congressional approval
Eff you the Dems and all the American haters. ReelectTrump
Since Democrats keep holding it up, Trump has to get things done.

Useless SpeakerPelosi and SenSchumer
Mnuchin doesn't seem to understand who controls the purse strings........
