I fail to see why the government should have ever gotten involved in the transactions between a property owner and a tenant. This was never going to end well.
As soon as the government relieves tenants of any negative consequences of not paying their rent, many are going to stop paying their rent -- whether they can afford to pay or not.
If the government wants to pay people directly so they can pay their rent, that's one thing; but telling one individual he can shirk his contractual responsibilities to another individual is asinine.
Instead of spending $4 trillion to prop up specific industries and businesses (and instead of trying to take away the incentive for tenants to pay their rent), the federal government should've just given the $12,000 to every citizen.
12k for rent thats cheap!
yeahhhh, the damn title need to change to say "Americans" not American but unfortunately I am in America but living abroad was much, much better since other older nations have culture and well here we have........... a very strong big pharma and military industrial complex ;)
I agree totally, there is a rather head on collision with class warfare that imho rests rather squarely on the fed gov.
hope people remember that, if America can spin billions but probably really trillions in black budget ops they can do better in other sectors but then again most gov. is like a grouping of Darth Vaders
Not only that, but any government that forces a business to stay closed is promulgating an involuntary taking, which cannot be done without just compensation.
We desperately need state and local governments to be held accountable for their "non-essential business" closures.
I can not wait to see what for "accountability" takes, it's almost like they just are gonna keep poking the bear till something breaks
unreal and oh yes I agree
