What’s The Status Of The Next Pandemic Economic Relief Bill?
Or Support Bill or Stimulus Bill…depending on how you look at it.
But everyone should be back on Washington today…or at least the major players should be.
Where’s the next economic relief bill? There shouldn’t be anything else on the table this week…nothing else.
And from Washington? Mum’s the word!
They should have been meeting to finally hammer out the next COVID-19 financial stimulus package. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin have been working on this for months.

Systemic Sexism Invisible In Plain Sight
Today, the New York Times has two very readable and defining articles about women journalists who have moved to the forefront in political reporting and writing. They are Abby Phillip at CNN and Savannah Guthrie at NBC. They are well worth reading and I will link them here:

Sunday Afternoon Musing: Continuing On That Foxconn Theme:

No matter what actions have been taken, including hiring additional staff, the state just hasn’t been able to keep up with claims for unemployment. To the tune of hundreds of thousands of claims. Yes, headway was […]
One of the hallmarks of the great negotiators regime was supposedly the new USMCA (United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement)…the perfect free trade agreement. And a vital agreement replacing NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) that was so unfair to the United States…and allowed Mexico and Canada…to take advantage of us.
The USMCA took affect for […]

Credit Card Issuers Aren’t Helping
A while back I suggested that as part of the financial response to the pandemic recession, that credit card issuers reduce the interest rates that they charge on carried balances. (When Will Congress Address Credit Card Debt?) After all, other interest rates (including home mortgages now) are at historically low rates. Yet, credit card […]
