14. For many millions the answer is yes, but not after July 31

The unemployment bonus $600 per week plus the stimulus check plus the decline in entertainment and dining spending leaves tens of millions better off financially. But when the six hundred stops after July 31 there could be an economic disaster. Rent, mortgage, car payments will stop by the millions. Unless Trump realizes his re-election requires a second dose of economic salvation.

So are you better off than four years ago? For many people the answer right now is yes. Yet despite that Trump is drifting down in polls. After July 31 he may crater.
