Many sources are reporting that Trump finally signed the pandemic relief bill:
Not gonna summarize all the bits in it - it's some 5k pages of legalese gobbledygook, but I understand it continues augmented unemployment benefits, eviction suspension, funding to prevent government shutdown, and another direct cash payment.
I'm sure it also has a bunch of "porky pork", but the people are suffering, time is of essence, and it should have been done months ago.

Until two years ago. In 2019, those making the *least* started paying *more*. And in 2021, that will apply to those making less than $40,000/year. And by 2027, anyone making up to $75,000/year will be paying *more*. [wikipedia.org]
Those making more than $75,000/year will continue to suck at the government teat indefinitely.
And the corporate tax cuts, those are permanent.
Yeah, Trump did the middle class a *huge* favor. Yeah, right.
