mortgages, cars and credit cards...what have. you The Senate will extend the money... This is an election year and they are in charge. They can't screw a Democratic president this time. The pugs don't give two damns about Americans. I am hoping that self interest will forced them to do the right thing for the wrong reasons. They sent no help to the people in 08. President Obama managed to save us anyway... Of course, this year is much worse than 08. These are depression numbers of unemployment...not seen since the 1930's. These people ( and my husband and I are among them) are not going back to their jobs...the jobs are gone. And we have a continuing pandemic and civil unrest. If something isn't down, we will have food riots.
