Liz Peek: Trump's big win on relief orders ? here's why Pelosi, Schumer are so unhappy
foxnews ^ | Liz Peek
What a smackdown!
While Democrat leaders Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer were blocking a bill to help Americans through the COVID-19 crisis, President Trump stepped up and got the job done, all by himself.
He issued four executive orders that would extend modified unemployment relief to millions who are out of work, protect many from eviction, provide continued relief from student loan debt and suspend payroll taxes for employers and those earning less than $100,000.
This made House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Schumer very, very unhappy. Pelosi called Trump?s measures ?illusions.?
Sorry, Madam Speaker, for families in need, an extra $400 per week unemployment pay is absolutely real, and extremely welcome.
The president boxed the Democrats in ? how can they possibly challenge his orders or take his mandated benefits away from people? The chagrined duo whined that Trump ?still does not comprehend the seriousness or the urgency of the health and economic crises facing working families.?
On the contrary, the president understands the urgency very well, and also understands political hardball.
Instead of compromising on legislation that would immediately help Americans pummeled by the coronavirus, Pelosi and Schumer prioritized issues that had nothing to do with the well-being of the nation. They pressed instead to ban ID requirements and signature verification for voters ? measures that, as the president noted, would encourage increased fraud in our elections, and that Republicans would never accept.
Mainly, Pelosi and Schumer stonewalled because they want to torpedo the U.S. economy. Democrats know that creating jobs is Trump?s signature achievement, and also the most important issue to voters. By blocking the next round of stimulus, they intentionally undermined the financial security of tens of millions of Americans.
They don?t care; their priority is beating President Trump. The American people be damned.
