After rallying on September 28, the stock market has cooled as investors wait to see what happens during the debate between President Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
A report from the New York Times says President Donald Trump paid only $750 in federal income taxes when he first ran for president and he paid no income taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years.
Can the coronavirus relief package talks be jump-started? Democrats in the House are redrafting a virus relief bill that is likely to contain scaled-back proposals.
Those seeking unemployment aid increased slightly last week to 870,000. Backlogs in part impacted by fraudulent applications are causing delays for some to receive benefits.
While the stock market has recovered from a plunge in March, and household wealth is up (mainly for affluent households), the economy has only recovered only about half its lost jobs.
The S&P 500 was up 1.6% in large part because of several big corporation deals that bolstered technology, health care and communication stocks.
Will there be another virus aid package? That question remains up in the air even as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says the Senate will be voting on “targeted” virus aid.
Despite the Trump administration rolling out a new $300/week unemployment benefit, more than 1 million people currently unemployed will not receive that check.
More than 1 million Americans have again applied for jobless aid. More than 14.5 million are collecting unemployment aid, which is much higher than last year’s number of 1.7 million.
As Americans wonder when and if there will be another virus relief package, the number of people applying for jobless benefits has risen back over 1 million.
Democrats want emergency funding for the USPS and election security. President Donald Trump is opposed to additional funds for USPS. And the coronavirus relief package is in limbo.
Do the Democrats have leverage in the latest virus talks? Are the Republicans considering government bailouts? And what about President Donald Trump’s executive orders?
