Pelosi and Schumer joint statement




Hard to see the political upside of a payroll tax cut/suspension for Trump now. It’ll take months to show much if any impact; it lacks support from his own party; it hands Dems an easy weapon to say he’s imperiling Social Security while he’s already in the penalty box w/ seniors.

NEW: Pelosi and Schumer issue a joint statement dismissing Trump’s executive orders as “unworkable, weak and narrow policy announcements to slash the unemployment benefits that millions desperately need and endanger seniors’ Social Security and Medicare.”
