Adding my comment: I don't understand what's being discussed here?
In regards to: "He just made a move a Democrat would make" - what move is that?
To the other comment: "We don't have 3 trillion dollars to give away", where is the reference to 3 trillion dollars?
To be clear: Looking up "payroll tax revenue": "In fiscal year 2019, federal payroll taxes generated $1.24 trillion". Extrapolating 8/1 to 12/31 is roughly 33% of the year // 33% revenue, that is a "410 billion".
To be more clear: As ordered, this is currently deferral of taxes, this is not money being given away.
I would say it particularly makes sense, because the narrative is that this is a transient hardship, for the country, that's not the people's fault, so I'd say it makes more sense to use the credit of the US government through this hard time rather than telling 300 million people to try to scrape money together, under this current narrative.
(Just FYI, Trump stated he plans to forgive this Nov 3, but that's not this EO as ordered).
-So, in this instance, I'm not understanding why Trump is being equated to making Democrat moves?
We sure that's a uniquely Democrat trait, before throwing that slur around? Hahaha. To be honest - don't have enough presidential history to even know.
In any case, I'm pretty content to let the current posts/thread stand on their own merits

EO outside of congress=Barry move

He's just playing them at their own game and it's awesome.
Oh no whatever will we do.
