What else can you do? When you have the MILLIONS of lost jobs; not only have the jobs gone away - the wages that people used to make, are gone too. Simply stated; even *if* you find another job, the chances are that you will take a substancial cut in your income (not counting the months of near-zero income).
So, what do you suppose we do? Let the house sit empty and become infested with mice, develop roof leaks and rot?
Until we get rid of the Libtards that have sabotaged this country; things will only get worse.
meanwhile property taxes and property insurance are both going up so house payments are going up too while wages and employment are going down. My house payment just went up $60 a month because of the tornadoes down south (supposedly) and because the dumba55 voters in my county voted for a tax increase. when will this end? How long until my original $600/month payment is $700/month? 800/month$ $1000/month?
I understand the sentiment, and I don't necessarily have a better plan to put forward that would create short-term benefit.
However, it needs to be said that the Socialists have created a broken economic and political system. That's why we are in the mess we are in. And the solution? Why of course! The solution is more Socialism!!! People are suffering! Send them a check! Or pay their mortgage! or forgive their debts! We've got to do something!!
What else can you do?
Well, the real solution is to accept the fact that there is no soft way out of this, and accept the fact that pain and suffering is inevitable. The real solution is harsh, and involves some people being very, very poor, and losing their houses, and having ruined lives.
That's not what I WANT -- but it is the only solution, other than a more emphatic embrace of Socialism. And I would argue that Socialism inevitably results in the pain and suffering, so you cannot avoid my "pain and suffering" scenario by choosing Socialism instead of pain and suffering.
Here's an idea. Let's adhere to the founding document in this country. It's called the Constitution of the United States of America.
I just looked, and I can't seem to find a "jobless mortgage relief" clause entitling the federal government to take my money and give it to those who don't work for whatever reason. I know that sometimes bad luck has a way of finding everybody.
The Founders of this once-great union of states knew this, too, and knew human nature better than nearly everyone today. Because of this, they knew that people, when their risks are backstopped by someone else, engage in riskier behaviors, like buying above their means, not saving money for a rainy day, and not working hard enough at their education and training to get a good job or carve out a profitable niche for themselves. Therefore, they intentionally omitted a "help out the unfortunate" clause in the Constitution. They knew that people would be better off in the long run if they knew there was a very weak (or non-existent) safety net, and designed the Constitution accordingly.
