He's saying one thing, but doing something else as usual.
The "eviction moratorium" is not that at all, but an order to "consider" whether there should be one. This, BTW is the only actual executive order. The rest are memoranda.
The $400 unemployment extension robs FEMA's emergency fund for up to $300 and tells the states (,already broke) that they just cover the rest. He is again attempting to take over congresses constitutional control of the purse strings. Then there's the fact that even though the memo says it will continue through December 6th, the money he is stealing from FEMA won't even last till october. This is not an EO, but a memorandum.
The payroll tax holiday is a raid on SS and Medicare that will have long lasting effects in their funding but almost no effect on peoples paychecks and does not one single thing for unemployed folks. The only ones it helps are his already wealthy pals. Plus it's a deferral, which means they're all due later. Only Congress can make it permanent. This is so not and EO, but a memorandum.
The only one that doesn't seem to be a weasel in some way or another is student loan relief, and it also isn't and EO.
