we have some breaking news president biden has just signed some executive orders that i think you're going to find really interesting and i don't want to waste your time so let's just go ahead and jump right in so president biden he held a press conference today he spoke briefly about the struggle the struggles that millions and millions of americans are still facing like 10 what is it 10 11 months into this pandemic he said that one in seven households don't have enough food to eat right now 14 million americans have fallen behind on their rent payments and he kind of addressed that on wednesday with another executive order that he made that pushed the rent moratoriums a little bit further into the future we'll probably see that extend even further i think he pushed it to march 31st we'll very likely see that extended he also cited that 900 000 people have filed for unemployment last week alone so the trend for unemployment is not good right now it's the numbers are pretty scary so we also talked about what he plans to do as president and he signed a few executive orders like i said i think you're going to find them really interesting so first he signed an order that calls for the department of agriculture to enhance pandemic ebt food assistance benefits by 15 so just for reference here that would increase the pandemic ebt food assistance benefits that a family of four would receive on average by over 100 per month so it's a pretty significant increase he also directed the department of agriculture to boost regular food stamp benefits by 15 to 20 percent and a statistic that i found on this was between six and seven million new families have signed up and begun receiving food stamp benefits since the beginning of the pandemic and that's up 17 from pre-pandemic levels so biden also signed in he was signing all sorts of orders this evening he also signed an order setting the stage to increase the minimum wage to 15 an hour so this order is setting the stage for federal workers and federal worker contractors to establish that fifteen dollars per hour pay rate and establish emergency paid leave for those same federal employees and contractors then he signed another order that addresses unemployment so this one you're probably going to find pretty interesting he asked the department of labor to clarify to the to individual states that workers have a right to refuse employment if they feel that employment would jeopardize their health if they feel that employment would be dangerous if it's dangerous to work at a specific business mostly because of covet-related reasons like if if a worker says i can't work at this business because they aren't taking proper precautions or something like that and i'm afraid of getting coveted he wants the department of labor to clarify to states that a worker can make that claim and then remain on unemployment and this is important because a rule of unemployment benefits is that the unemployed person is making a good faith effort to find employment so there needs to be a distinction made which way do we want to go on this and then finally we have an executive order on stimulus checks for the first and second stimulus checks biden has made an order that directs the treasury department to consider taking some additional proposed measures to promptly send payments to people who still haven't received that first 1200 stimulus payment or the second 600 stimulus payment or any missing dependent payment any missing stimulus payment he signed an order that is directing the treasury department to consider taking specific actions to be more aggressive to get these payments to the people who are still waiting since last april and since december they're saying millions and millions of people have already received these but an estimated eight million people will miss out on stimulus payments if some more aggressive action isn't taken and the claim is that these systems the systems in place to get people their stimulus payments hurts the lowest of the income people because those are the the people who don't typically need to file their taxes so their records aren't on system and not as easy to get to these people as it would be someone who regularly pays taxes every single year it's really not clear how much push these orders will really have we're seeing a lot of phrasing like directs to consider and i think with that only time is going to tell how much actually happens because of these orders and it's also important to note that congress if if for whatever reason they don't like a specific executive order they can override an executive order and then of course the president can veto it but then they can override that veto so it'll be interesting to see how exactly these orders pan out what kind of effect they really have but i just wanted to kind of make this breaking news because this just happened earlier today so i'd just like to thank you for watching and i hope you have a profitable day
