Up in the air. My honest opinion is that the only issue that will get sorted out is unemployment, displaced americans out of a job (tax break, eviction stalls, deferred payments etc.). I do not believe companies and PPP/PSP will get funded. Apparently I am not the only one. I just saw that bald guy from shark tank say pretty much the same thing on CNBC is what he expects.

again, not turning this is to political debate. But is the executive order legitimate? In other words, is congress still ironing out a deal, or have they stopped altogether because the executive order is legitimate. Sorry google doesn’t seem to help out much.

Congress writes checks, the President can stop collections and ease restrictions.
Congess is on recess until Sept 14, although they reportedly are "close to the phone" in case a miracle in the COVID relief situation happens.
As of now, no bill. No bill, no extension of said bill.

okay so sounds like the payroll protection was not part of the executive order.

Actually that is incorrect. The HEROS ACT (HR 6800) has passed the House, to my knowledge, the Senate has failed to pass their own version where a conference committee could iron out the differences. This whole directly negotiating with the President isn’t how passing bills is supposed to work....

I did some more digging and found this.
“Still, negotiations are expected to continue this week, as even with the president’s executive orders, there remains much to be resolved.”
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.for...ck-coming/amp/
Also in the article it says both side are still in agreement on the CARES act.
So looks like there is still hope after all.

The Executive order isn’t legal, but it is political. The Dems would rather walk genital deep through molten lead than to take the President to court to get his executive orders PROVIDING BENEFITS TO PEOPLE thrown out this close to an election, but neither can they let that precedent stand, which is why Schumer and Pelosi are now wheedling the Republicans to come back to the negotiating table. I think they now realize they can’t Get the $3 Trillion they wanted so they are going to see what they can get before folding on the $1 Trillion the Repubs proposed.

before it becomes operational and legal.
HEROES Act was dead on arrival in the Senate, who countered it with their own proposal.
Under the current administration, not one Republican governor (state) or US Congress person makes a decision without "bouncing it off" the President or one of the President's trusted circle.
right or wrong, this is what is happening
at the present time, we have no bill to attach an extension to.
Flight Attendant union is not happy about this, releasing this statement:
