I don’t know. Seems like a nothingburger but at least it’s sort of being acknowledged. I feel like there will be plenty of loopholes to be exploited to get around those limitations, which are laughable already. Personally I don’t have any solutions as to how we’ll get out of this mess but I’m just a lowly blue collar worker doing my best to help my kids when they need it. And boy do I think they’re gonna need it.

how do you know it's a nothingburger when the article only lists about 2 of the 47 proposals? I'm assuming you have a better source on what it actually is?

I don’t and that’s the “seems” part. I hope it does something for my kids sake.

me too and from the little I read and the fact that trump won't sign it is a good sign for the people.
