From a guy on FreeRepublic.com:
The most perverse thing is that many people who never missed a paycheck are telling landlords to pound salt, knowing they have no recourse. And the debt incurred is uncollectable.
One magical effect will be to discourage investment in rental housing, and to increase homelessness, a defect that will be a attributed to “capitalism” and called a market failure.
If I had a nickel for every problem caused by government and blamed on markets, I’d be a big fat filmmaker in a baseball cap.
The next comment:
Here is a idea so crazy it might just work…….how’s about people who rent actually pay their rent.
Wow, that’s right up there with “How about people that take out student loans pay them?”
I might say you’re a dreamer, but you’re not the only one…
Thank Allah there are at least 2 Congresswomen protecting renters who can’t pay their rent. Well, not THEIR, tenents but it’s a start.
Wait… Wasn’t the government giving out money to the people put out of work so they could pay the rent?
You mean it wasn’t for drugs?
