President Trump, who was never willing to step into negotiations for a covid-19 stimulus package when they were ongoing or publicly share his view that the bill’s $600 checks were too small, threw an inexcusable wrench into the efforts to send relief to Americans. Now that Trump has agreed to sign the bill, The Post reports, the Treasury Department is “scrambling” to get out the checks after Trump’s stalling. In addition, the “Trump administration is racing to distribute a wide array of funds, including those that aim to boost cash-strapped businesses and help unemployed workers at risk of losing their benefits.” Millions, in other words, could lose a week’s pay.
