Stop unemployment benefits, etc.
Millions of people could sit down
Biden “If you don’t approve, it will be devastating”
Concerns about a federal shutdown are growing as US President Donald Trump refuses to approve additional economic stimulus plans to respond to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19). Criticism is high, as millions of Americans could sit on the streets in cold weather without paying rent if he does not sign the stimulus bill before the 28th when federal funds are exhausted.
President Trump, who arrived at Marrakech, Florida resort on the 23rd to spend Christmas holidays, played golf here on the 24th and 25th. Initially, the White House insisted that “it includes a lot of meetings and calls,” saying, “I will work tirelessly for the Americans,” ahead of the president’s trip to Florida, but in reality, it was only dedicated to golf. Media such as the Associated Press complained that’the president threw a grenade threatening the government shutdown during the pandemic.’
President Trump has not signed the Corona 19 stimulus bill agreed by Congress on the 21st, and the federal government budget bill for fiscal 2021. Both Republicans and Democrats have agreed on a stimulus plan that pays Americans $600 in cash per capita, but he only insists that it should be raised to $2,000 without any mention of how to raise money. He wrote on Twitter on the 26th, “I just want the people to be able to get $2,000.” It is interpreted that President Trump’s Mongni has nothing to do with complaints that the Republican Party has not actively assisted in his campaign against the presidential election. Initially, in the process of agreeing on the stimulus plan, some of the Democrats insisted that’increase the subsidy to $2,000′, but the Republican Party expressed difficulties and did not reach an agreement. If the President does not finally sign the stimulus bill, cash payments, additional unemployment benefits, and deportation protection measures to respond to Corona 19 will be stopped. According to Reuters, about 14 million Americans do not receive unemployment benefits. Eventually, President-elect Joe Biden issued a statement on the 26th and urged to sign the bill as soon as possible, saying, “The rejection of the president’s approval will have devastating consequences.” Biden criticized, “If the President neglects responsibility, 10 million people will lose unemployment insurance benefits, the military’s essential services and benefits are at risk, and millions are at risk of deportation.” The Democratic Party is discussing a plan to urgently organize an additional temporary budget so that the shutdown does not occur until January 20, when Biden takes office.
