I don’t think I need a reference to convince anyone that the people of the United states are facing hard economic times. There are probably some who are doing OK or better but a good number of people could use a bit of help.

The Democrats in the House realized the Covid-19 relief bill (H.R.6800 – The Heroes Act) passed May 15, 2020 was not enough. Some benefits were insufficient and others were set to expire. For example the federal supplement to unemployment benefits would expire at the end of July.

Of course the Senate Republicans have done next to nothing to address this problem. Except the occasional complaint about unemployment benefits being too high. They are now in the process of trying to look like they are helping while spending as little as they can get away with and eliminating worker protections.

It appears the Republicans are the enemy of the people, at least those who work. And Democrats are trying to help. I hope Georgians consider this in the run-off elections.
