Details

   The president signed an executive order restoring an additional $400 in jobless benefits to Americans out of work because of the pandemic issue.
   However, only $300 of that is to be provided by the federal government. The other $100 additional benefit is to come from each state.
   But.
  Each state must first ask for it, then wait for the request to be approved. Also, what if the states don't have that additional funding? Will the federal grant be withheld?
   Also, what of the reality that Congress is in charge of financing, and this executive order bypasses that reality?
   Meanwhile, whenever reporters ask a question that the president doesn't like, especially one that exposes a falsehood that he has repeated often, he walks out.
   Moreover, his "news briefing" announcing the executive order was held at his golf club in New Jersey and attended by devoted members of the club as a cheering section.
   Moral: Ignoring reporters does not make the questions go away.
