Landlords to get paid with our taxpayer money for all unpaid rent (expenses, tax)

California to use federal COVID funds to pay off past-due rent accumulated during pandemic

This is just another plan to put the taxpayer on the hook for all rent. Not renters, not landlords: taxpayers fund everything. How nice. Until the money runs out. Then what?

Tax payers pay for a lot of stuff, you won't agree with everything.

That is what a lot of already existing programs do. One shot deal is an example. Sec 8 is basically taxpayers paying rent even before its overdue.

This money should have been deducted from the money being sent to the tenants and then sent directly to the landlord by the government. Why send the tenant the full amount as if they had to pay rent and other expenses too when the government declared that the tenant didn't have to pay rent? Doesn't make sense.

Of course, now it will be nearly impossible to get that money back from the tenants, and I doubt that the government will even try. Yes, the taxpayers will pay for it just like they pay for everything.

there was 700 billion left over from the Trump stimulus that has been redirected.

Rent is a concept made by the devil!!! There’s no rent in nature!!!!

Oh, I thought that’s where we were headed.

CA does pay a lot in federal taxes. I'm no fan of wasteful spending but better California than, say, Nevada.

What happens to everyone when the bill comes due for this payout party.

Curious if you asked the same questions when the Trump Tax cuts or stimulus went into place?

Who didn't see this coming?

If you support all these government giveaways, then don't complain when your steak costs $40 per pound and gas hits $10.
