Assuming that this executive order is constitutional, which is dubious, the President’s directive on unemployment insurance raids $44 billion from the Disaster Relief Fund to create a new program that underfunded states will have to set up themselves.

Workers getting less than $100 a week won’t be eligible and it’s not anywhere near enough to actually cover the benefits for more than 4 and a half weeks. Meaning workers won’t see a dime until October, mixed earner workers will get left out, and it will only last a few weeks.
Like many of the President’s failed business ventures, this is a giant scam.
