All of us, Republicans and Democrats alike, should recognize that, at the end of November, 10.7 million people remained unemployed through no fault of their own, due to COVID-19.
While politicians continue to argue how COVID-related relief should be structured, the fact is that the president recently signed legislation that has three immediate features.
First, stimulus payments of $600 per person (including dependents under 18) are going to households earning less than $150,000 for a two-adult household. Second, the new law extends reduced unemployment bonus payments of $300 per week for 10 weeks. Third, it's extending eviction protection for an additional month.
Yet, as is the case with every plan authored by human beings, questions remain.
