  • Senate Republicans fail to advance coronavirus stimulus bill as stalemate drags on!

    Senate Republicans fail to advance coronavirus stimulus bill as stalemate drags on!
    Sep 10 2020
    The Senate failed Thursday to advance a Republican Coronavirus stimulus plan, the latest blow to stalled efforts to pass another package to mitigate the pandemic’s damage. The measure fell short of the 60 votes needed on a procedural step to move toward passage. All Democrats present, and one Republican in Rand Paul of Kentucky, opposed it in a 52-47 vote. The nearly unanimous vote for the GOP followed weeks of disagreements within the Republican caucus about whether to pass any more aid at all. The legislation would have reinstated enhanced federal unemployment insurance at a rate of $300 per week, half of the $600 weekly payment that expired at the end of July. It would have authorized new small business loans and put money toward schools and into Covid-19 testing, treatment and vaccines. The measure did not include a second $1,200 direct payment to individuals. It also lacked new relief for cash-strapped state and local governments or money for rental and mortgage assistance and food aid — all priorities for Democrats. “It is beyond insufficient. It is completely inadequate,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said of the GOP plan earlier Thursday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., brought the measure to the Senate floor this week as efforts by the Trump administration and Democratic leaders to strike a bipartisan relief agreement remained stalled. He aimed not only to show Republicans, and particularly vulnerable GOP senators running for reelection this year, were taking action to fight the pandemic, but also to put pressure on Democrats ahead of Election Day. “They can tell American families they care more about politics than helping them,” McConnell said of Democratic senators who oppose the bill. Congress has failed to pass a fifth coronavirus aid package even as the outbreak infects tens of thousands of Americans per day and economic pain felt by millions of jobless people sharpens. Lifelines including the jobless benefits, a federal moratorium on evictions and the window to apply for Paycheck Protection Program small business loans have all lapsed. While President Donald Trump has taken unilateral steps to extend temporary unemployment aid to some Americans and limit evictions for a few months, only Congress can pass comprehensive relief because it controls federal spending. Doubts have grown about lawmakers’ ability to approve any more stimulus during the heated final weeks before the 2020 election. Even so, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters Thursday that she is hopeful Congress can pass another bill before Election Day. Asked Wednesday about whether another relief bill would come together, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin responded, “I don’t know.” “We’ll see. I hope there is. It’s important to a lot of people out there,” the top Trump administration negotiator in aid talks said. As Republicans try to hold on to their 53-47 Senate majority in November, every GOP incumbent running this year supported the aid package. The most vulnerable Senate Democrat, Doug Jones of Alabama, opposed it. So did Gary Peters of Michigan, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Tina Smith of Minnesota, all of whom will face voters this year in states where the 2016 election was close.

  • US Trade Deficit Jumps To 12 Year High in July!

    US Trade Deficit Jumps To 12 Year High in July!
    Sep 10 2020
    U.S. trade deficit jumps to 12-year high in July The U.S. trade deficit surged to its highest level since 2008 in July amid a record increase in imports, suggesting that trade could be a drag on economic growth in the third quarter. The Commerce Department said on Thursday the trade deficit jumped 18.9% to $63.6 billion, the highest since July 2008. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the trade gap widening to $58 billion in July. Imports soared by a historic 10.9% to $231.7 billion. Goods imports vaulted 12.3% to $196.4 billion. Exports increased 8.1% to $168.1 billion. Goods exports rose 11.9% to $115.5 billion. A smaller trade bill contributed to gross domestic product over the last three quarters. The coronarivus crisis severely disrupted trade flows, which are now picking up.

  • Manhattan apartment deals fall 31% while sales boom in the suburbs

    Manhattan apartment deals fall 31% while sales boom in the suburbs
    Sep 10 2020
    For the best political books of 2020:(affiliate link) https://amzn.to/2ZFaYkn The new release "Rage" by Bob Woodward. https://amzn.to/2F6FHje Manhattan residential sales contracts fell 31% in August while deals in the suburbs and Florida surged, suggesting that the flight from New York City continued through the summer. There were 585 sales contracts for condos and co-ops in Manhattan in August, compared with 848 a year ago, according to a report from Douglas Elliman and Miller Samuel. The high end is suffering the biggest drop — contracts for condos and co-ops price at more than $4 million fell 44%. The drop is a slight improvement from July, when contracts declined 57%. Yet the August boom in real estate deals in suburban markets around New York and in Florida shows real estate dollars (and most likely residents) continue to flow out of Manhattan. The inventory of unsold apartments in Manhattan is piling up fast. There were more than 2,400 new listings in Manhattan in August — more than four times the number of sales contracts. “The sales activity in Manhattan is not doing what it’s supposed to do,” said Jonathan Miller, CEO of Miller Samuel, an appraisal and research firm. “The supply is growing faster than demand and that’s the opposite of what we’re seeing in suburban markets.” There are also signs that the strength outside of Manhattan is being fueled by wealthier buyers, who are critical to Manhattan’s tax base and real estate market. Sales contracts in the Hamptons more than doubled in August compared with last year, with 47 contracts signed above $4 million. Westchester County saw its strongest growth in homes priced at more than $1 million, which more than doubled over last year. And in Greenwich, Connecticut, the number of deals over $4 million increased six-fold compared with last year. In Florida, the story is similar, with seven-figure homes seeing some of the strongest activity compared with last year. In Palm Beach County sales of seven-figure homes more than tripled compared with 2019. Miller said the flight of the New York wealthy to Florida after the change in state and local tax deductions in 2018 has only accelerated during the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re seeing a much larger increase in demand in Florida by people coming from the Northeast,” he said. “This now looks structural rather than cyclical.” (CNBC)
