Biden pushes to get food, cash to crisis-hit Americans

Wow, what a world of difference it has made in our everyday lives not to have to read another inane Trump tweet or hear about his latest divisive shenanigans.

He’s not biden his time. Campaign promises already taken care of 2 days in.

With unemployment jumping by another 1.3 million applications last week

Millions of Americans who've been severely hurt by the failures of Biden's predecessor to deal effectively with the pandemic need all the help they can get.

Now.

Trump had two months following the election to do something about COVID, but he focused on spreading lies about the election, while citizens died.

We can only hope the Japanese government is watching and will do its usual thing of copying whatever western governments do. Extra help for families to pay rent and groceries would be nice.

It feels weirdly quiet without outrageous Trump stories to read every day.

This is my biggest issue with Trump and one of the primary reasons I could never support him. He sat on his a$$ for the last 2 months of his presidency and did not do anything. He showed no leadership at all. It is far worse than what happened Jan. 6 at the U.S. capitol which has been highly overblown (another 9/11? come on). No it is Trump's gross negligence in doing nothing his last 2 months that shows who he really is; a narcisstic self centered person.

The last two months is the worst thing he did, bar none, during his Presidency.

"The latest orders boosting food aid and speeding up stimulus payments were modest in scale"

A drop in the bucket.

Pretty bigig difference !!..

A bigly difference, IMO.

bigig

bigly

“bigigly”, man! lol

"The American people can't afford to wait,"

Yet they will wait and wait and wait, thanks to our wonderful, horrible Nancy Pelosi. Trump is gone, but that dead weight Pelosi with all her rhetoric still stinks up and stalls progress.

*Other measures include asking the Treasury Department to step on the accelerator and get stimulus payments of up to $600 a person that were already approved under Trump out more quickly.*

Yep, all blocked earlier...and now accelerated..

*This is my biggest issue with Trump and one of the primary reasons I could never support him. He sat on his ** for the last 2 months of his presidency and did not do anything..

He did far more than you could imagine..but all blocked..now the blocks are not in place..that's the only difference..

What about those of us who don’t QUALIFY for Unemployment Or Food ?

Yeah, crumbs from the table, I know. Either “Party” doesn’t matter.

It was Trump who for several days refused to sign the new stimulus and relief bill. Trump wanted checks for $2000 per needy person.

The standard subtle fact distortion..facts do confuse the left conservatives..

Americans would have had more financial relief several months ago if the Democrats had approved the stimulus check proposal...but they denied it in the House because they wanted extra money added for their pork projects and also due to an upcoming election. They did not want Americans to see another stimulus check with President Trump’s name on it before Americans voted.

Yep..the mis-placed Trump hatred took preference over Corona..just show cases the character of the permanent Washington types, both on the left and the right.

wrong it was Mitch McConnell that blocked the bill because he thought $2000 was too much and $600 was plenty. Dems were always on board with $2000 and even Trump supported that. dont let the facts get in way of your FOX OAN narrative

It's not a left vs right thing..It was Trump vs the permanent Washington types, both on the left and the right, the later runs the show in Washington, with the President just rubber stamping..Trump was different as he tried to reduce there influence..and was therefore blocked and attacked in every possible way.

Also may want to read the that $600 and $2000 bill by Trump and the modified $2000 one by McConnell..there are other things in the bill which are hundred percent opposed.. these being repeal Section 230 and yes, setup committee to investigate the integrity and administration of the 2020 elections.

Am surprised at the speed of this move, and others. Not bad for a centre right PotUS. But there has to be more.

Hunger is becoming a threat in particular to millions of poorer children who relied on meals served by their schools -- now shut due to COVID-19.

Indeed. For millions of people across the US, the threat of malnutrition is a reality.
